The mentioned condition is agonal breathing and is a medical emergency as agonal breaths will not sustain life. For the lay rescuer, call 911 (or have someone else call), give 2 breaths, and start CPR. For HCP CPR certification, they would give 2 breaths and check pulse; then give care as required.
