Answer:

Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

Step-by-step explanation:

The child goes unconscious, then the first thing to do is to give him/her rescue breaths because start of the breathing is the foremost necessary. If patient doesn't get conscious then perform a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Because the next important thing is to start the heart. In that time, the person in sin state of myocardial infarction that is very fatal. If still there are no signs of consciousness then call 911 right away.
