To check for responsiveness verbally announce your presence and ask if you are OK. If they don't answer try a painful stimuli. Painful stimuli include squeezing the muscle at the shoulder or pushing on the pressure point behind the ear. No response to painful stimuli then check the Carotid Pulse on the neck. No pulse, begin CPR.

When would you start chest compression's in an unresponsive victim?
That depends...if you happen upon an unresponsive victim, you need to check to see if they are breathing and if they have a pulse first. Look, listen, and feel for 10-15 seconds. If they are pulseless and apneic (not breathing) you should perform chest compressions and rescue breathing immediately, at a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths, @ 100 compressions/minute. If they do have a pulse, but are apneic, perform rescue breathing only, @ 1 breath every 5 seconds. If you are alone and happen upon an "un-witnessed" collapse and you don't know how long they've been down, do CPR for 2 minutes, and then try to go for help. If the collapse is "witnessed", call for help first, then begin CPR. Source: Emergency Medical Technician
