Check their level of responsiveness. Shout "hey can you hear me?" and squeeze their shoulder. No response then send someone to call 911 IMMEDIATELY while you begin chest compressions.

The 2010 American Heart Association CPR guidelines state C-A-B (Circulation, Airway, Breathing) as the most important. This differs from regular first aid in which the order is A-B-C. Research has shown that immediate compressions are beneficial and can deliver oxygen to the brain.

If you DON'T have a CPR Mask DO NOT do rescue breaths (unless its a family member). The risk of infection is too great. Continue with compression only CPR until help arrives.

If you are by yourself, stop CPR after 2 minutes and go call 911.

I strongly recommend you take a first aid or CPR course.
