CPR is performed only when there is no heartbeat. A person may be cyanotic (blue) for several reasons- choking, extra cold, a collapsed lung, etc. Only when there is no heartbeat do you perform CPR (Part of CPR training is checking for a heartbeat and respiration) The person MAY be choking, and need the Heimlich Maneuver, not CPR. CPR is an extreme measure- even done well, it can still cause injury (cracking ribs)
