You are first to the scene and you find an unresponsive person with no pulse that has thrown up. You feel CPR is not something you are comfortable giving them. What would be the next best thing for you to do

Answer:

Put the person on his/her side to let out some throw up

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be understood that the meaning of CPR is cardiopulmonary resuscitation. And it is an emergency life-saving procedure that is done when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.

The stoppage of the breathing may have happened after an electric shock, heart attack, or drowning.

In this case, the person can be laid on his/her side to let out some thrown up, which will through the air passage and subsequently allow breathing.

It should be noted that, only CPR has been shown to be effective.
