BDifficulty 1/5

The accident scene is safe, an adult is unresponsive and 112 is already being called. To decide whether CPR is needed, what should you check?

Correct answer

Whether they are breathing normally.

Whether breathing is normal. An unresponsive person who is not breathing normally needs CPR without delay, following 112 instructions and using an AED when available. A lay bystander should not delay CPR by searching for a pulse. Isolated gasps are not normal breathing.
