A member asked:
Can breathing usually stop before circulation fails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More in kids: Typically in adults breathing stops after circulation fails and we can see what we term 'agonal respirations.' this is one of the reasons that the american heart association now believes CPR is more important than rescue breathing. The opposite happens in kids, respirations stop first.
