Question: 1 / 400

For a donor who experienced 10 minutes of CPR, what is the documented downtime if they were last seen well 5 minutes before CPR?

10 minutes

15 minutes

The documented downtime in this scenario refers to the total time elapsed since the donor was last seen well until the initiation of CPR. In this case, the individual was last seen well 5 minutes before CPR was started, which establishes the first part of the downtime. After being last seen well, the individual experienced 10 minutes of CPR.

To calculate the total downtime, you add the time between when the individual was last seen well and when CPR started (5 minutes) to the duration of CPR (10 minutes). This results in a total documented downtime of 15 minutes. Thus, documenting downtime as 15 minutes accurately reflects the time from when the donor was last seen well through the entire period of resuscitation efforts.
