When do you stop resuscitating acasualty?

Resuscitation efforts should be stopped when there are clear signs of irreversible death, such as rigor mortis, livor mortis, or decapitation. Additionally, if there is no response to advanced life support measures after a reasonable duration, typically around 20-30 minutes in cases of cardiac arrest, and if the underlying cause is not reversible, resuscitation can be ceased. It’s essential to follow local protocols and guidelines and to consult with medical direction when possible. Always ensure that the decision to stop resuscitation is made collaboratively by trained personnel.
