What situation warrants stopping CPR while providing assistance to an infant?

Stopping CPR on an infant is warranted when the emergency response team arrives. This professional team is equipped with advanced training, equipment, and resources to take over the care of the infant. Their priority is to stabilize and transport the patient to a medical facility, ensuring that further interventions can be initiated effectively. Emergency responders typically have a higher level of training and access to life-saving medications, equipment, and techniques that are not available to lay responders.

While other situations, such as a change of helpers, arrival of family members, or new instructions from a bystander might seem significant, they do not necessitate stopping CPR. In contrast, the arrival of the emergency response team represents a critical transition in care, as they can continue the life-saving efforts with the necessary medical support. Thus, stopping CPR at this point is appropriate to allow the trained professionals to take charge.
