What should someone do upon encountering an unconscious person?

Answer 1

If the person finding the unconscious person is trained in First Aid, then use your skills to check for breathing and react appropriately, removing the blockage if applicable and beginning CPR. If two people find someone unconscious, one person stays with the unconscious person and the other goes to call 911 for emergency assistance. Even if only one person finds someone unconscious and knows First Aid, 911 must still be called because CPR is only designed to keep the heart and brain full of blood while EMT is making their way to the person.
