Place a glass or glasses in front of his nose to check breathing status. Touch his pulse or carotid with your finger. A small piece of paper in front of his nose may indicate the signs of respiration. Watch the colour of his skin.

If two or all of these conditions indicate a respiratory halting, start chest compression immediately.
