The signs/symptoms are in the question itself... the person is apneic and has no pulse.
Symptoms of those requiring CPR are no breathing, no pulse, no signs of life.
The person is not breathing, there is no heartbeat or pulse.
You should use CPR if a person is not breathing (place your ear nearly to their nose/mouth, and look, listen, feel for warmth) and has no pulse (using you pointer finger, feel along the side of the neck for a carotid pulse).
If you perform CPR on a person who is breathing and has a pulse, you would decrease the effectiveness of their own breaths & heart pumps. If a person is breathing and has a good pulse, during the check you should be able to determine the person has signs of life. In fact, if you try to perform CPR, they may resist. If the person is barley breathing and you do not determine they are breathing, better to perform CPR if in question because if the breathing is that faint, it will only be a short amount of time before they loose signs of life. The probability of a side affect of performing CPR with faint signs of life is small.
abnormal vital signs (breathing, pulse rate, temperature, blood pressure), threatening or violent behavior, and those who present with signs and symptoms of alcohol or illicit drug intoxication.
Yes, it is. Pulse, breathing rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation are the most common 'vital signs'.
Sweating
what are the signs & symptoms of an unheathy person
Before starting CPR you should (for no longer than 10 seconds) look for signs of life, especially a pulse and breathing. Lack of a pulse is indication that you should start CPR, presence of a pulse but lack of breathing is indication that you should begin rescue breathing.
An infant in need of CPR will not be breathing and will not have a pulse. Also, the infant will be turning a blueish color.
For an Adult, if there are no signs of life, immediately go to CPR. For an Infant or Child, if there is no breathing, but a pulse start rescue breathing; 1 breath every 3 seconds.
An infant in need of CPR will be unconscious, not breathing and have no pulse.
