When is it considered necessary to move a victim while performing CPR?

Moving a victim while performing CPR is essential when the victim is in a dangerous environment. The priority in any emergency situation is the safety of both the rescuer and the victim. If the surroundings pose a risk—such as a fire, explosion hazard, or toxic gas—relocating the victim can prevent further injury or loss of life. In such scenarios, it is crucial to quickly assess the situation and, if necessary, move the victim to a safer location while minimizing interruptions to the CPR process wherever possible.

While other choices may seem relevant, they do not prioritize the immediate safety of the victim, which is the guiding principle for performing CPR effectively. For instance, the stability of the victim does not justify remaining in a hazardous environment, and safe environments are preferable but do not compel a move unless immediate danger is present. Additionally, monitoring equipment does not take precedence over the basic need to ensure that a victim is safe from imminent threats.
