A member asked:
What should you do if a 35 yr old man falls off his chair and falls unconscious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unconscious: Check for pulse and breathing. If the mouth is open, put a soft item to wedge the teeth apart, then sweep the mouth with yoiu finger. Move the person away from sharp edged furniture. If no pulse or no breathing, before starting cpr, sharply strik the sternum with your fist, as it may start the heart beating. Give cpr, turning the head to the side in case of vomiting.
