A member asked:
If a person is unconscious won't wake up but it's still breathing and has a pulse 60 out of 100 seconds, breathing is shallow but takes a deep breath once every 5 to 6 seconds. do you give cpr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your described situation is best handled by EMTs, and an experienced ambulance crew to transport to a medical facility as the best choice. CPR is indicated in the presence of apnea or pulselessness, but may also be useful in some cardiac arrhythmias. It is vital to have thorough training to perform CPR properly.
