An adult is unresponsive and not breathing normally. Which technique includes chest compressions to maintain circulation during suspected cardiac arrest?

Correct answer

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Check that approaching is safe and call 112 without delay for an unresponsive person; assess breathing while getting help. If breathing is abnormal, start compressions and follow emergency instructions. Agonal gasps are not normal breathing. Ventilation or mouth-to-mouth alone does not replace compressions; use an available AED following its instructions. CPR can support circulation but does not guarantee restoration.
