Once they begin CPR, a first aider can only stop if exhausted, relieved by another (they may remain legally responsible depending on qualifications), or if a more competent authority TELLS the first aider they are assuming responsibilty. This is when the paramedic says, "I've got it mate." not when the ambulance pulls up.
Once a person has a piece of paper saying they have qualifications, Good Samaritan Laws do not give the same protection that they do to someone who is "legally ignorant".
