How long should resuscitation of an accident victim last?
First aid
Explanation
**Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)** is crucial when a person is not breathing normally after an accident. In these cases, CPR should be started immediately and continued **until medical help arrives**. This is essential because, during the second critical moment after an accident, known as the **"golden hour"**, resuscitation efforts are vital to try to save the life of the affected person.
CPR consists of performing chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth ventilations to maintain the flow of oxygen in the injured person's body. This procedure should continue without interruption until the injured person recovers or emergency services arrive at the scene. Therefore, resuscitation does not have a specific time limit; it depends on the arrival of professional help or the recovery of the injured person.
