If a person has suspected pulmonary embolism should you perform cpr?

If heart stops...: If the person's heart stops, regardless of the possible cause, CPR should be started, if you know how to do it. If you are not trained in cpr, call 911 immediately and they can tell you how to perform cpr. If you are interested in learning how to do cpr, there are classes available, including by the american red cross. But even if there is a pe, if the heart stops, CPR is needed.

YES!: Irrespective of the cause. Out of hospital cardiac arrest has a 95% plus mortality. CPR alone increases the change to survive by 2 to 3 fold. So push hard and fast and stay alive. Go to the aha website to details.
