Do not give CPR. CPR is only used if three conditions are met; they are apneic, unresponsive, or dont have a pulse. Usually if someone doesn't have a pulse then you can still do it. Do not do it or attach an AED to someone with one.

It is possible that the patient has an obstruction of the airway so clear it and start assisted respiration.
