Question

You are off duty and you come across an unresponsive child lying on the ground at a playground. she does not have a pulse and no one witnessed the collapse. what should you do?

Answer 1

You need to begin CPR. A pulseless and unresponsive patient who was not witnessed requires immediate CPR to try and get blood flowing, we do not know how long the child has been without oxygen and every second counts.

Continue doing this for at the minimum 5 cycles before pulling out your phone, or have someone call 911 immediately.

As I said before every second counts.
