Check to see if they are actually unconscious by calling loudly and pinching there shoulders. 3. Check to see if they are breathing by: looking to see if there chest is rising and falling listening for a breathing "sound" and feeling there breath on your cheek. also want to check for pulse 4. if they are really unconscious At this point send some one to call EMS (911) and get an AED machine if possible. 5. at this point start CPR keep going until:they become conscious, EMS arrives, AED is available or you are to tired to keep going. if at any point they become conscious (which is unlikely and slightly more likely with AED) treat other injuries and for shock
