When should you cease to perform resuscitation to a person who is a victim of an accident?

Explanation

Correct answer: After restoration of life functions (pulse, breathing).

The main purpose of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is to restore basic vital functions, such as breathing and circulation. If, as a result of the actions taken, the casualty begins to breathe independently and a pulse is present, resuscitation should be stopped, as its objective has been achieved. Further action involves monitoring the casualty's condition until the arrival of the emergency medical services.
