A. Begin CPR
If you find an unresponsive patient who is not breathing, the immediate action to take after activating the emergency response system is to begin CPR. This helps to maintain blood flow to the organs and can be crucial in increasing the chance of recovery until professional help arrives. It’s important to assess the situation quickly and act decisively. Please remember that CPR should consist of chest compressions and rescue breaths if you’re trained to do so.
