What should you do when someone has a asthma attack and passes out?

Go to the ED!: If this is the case you need to go to the ED immediately. Other potential dangers need to be checked for. Besides asthma something else might be affecting you or the asthma is so severe you could go in a respiratory arrest.

Call: an ambulance and keep the airway open by rolling them on their side and slightly extending the neck.
