What to do when the victim loses consciousness?
Quickly check the pulse in her throat. If there is no pulse, then suspect a heart attack rather than choking. If she has a pulse, get help sitting the victim up and perform the Heimlich maneuver, 4 sharp pulls in a row. Repeat if nothing comes out.
When the choking victim becomes unconscious CPR should be started without checking the pulse true or false?
The statement is false. CPR should only begin if the patient has stopped breathing or if their heart has stopped beating. While it is likely that a choking victim has ceased breathing if they have lost consciousness, it is not an absolute indicator.
Do you check for a pulse in an unresponsive choking patient?
If the patient is choking, the first priority is to clear the airway, not check the pulse. The airway should be cleared first, and then once the rescue breaths go in, check for a pulse.
