Yes, once you have confirmed that someone does have a pulse and is not breathing (or breathing abnormally), you should immediately call emergency services and begin CPR until help arrives. Early CPR is essential in increasing the chance of survival of someone in cardiac arrest.

Can a baby survive cardiac arrest or is it too much?

Babies can survive cardiac arrest, but there are degrees of "survival" that will vary greatly depending on how long the child was in arrest before resuscitation efforts were started, and how quickly the heart started to beat on it's own again. It also depends on what the condition of the child was prior to the cardiac arrest. If the child was mostly healthy, and suffered the arrest during a near drowning, for example, then as long as the child was quickly resuscitated, they have a chance for a full recovery. If there are underlying conditions, or disease pathologies that make the child prone to arrest and the complications thereof, the outcome may be more dire.

You should call 911 immediately but keep in mind that you only have about 4 minutes to get blood moving in the child's body before brain damage is a strong possibility. If you found the child unresponsive and not breathing and are alone, give 2 minutes of care before making the call to 911.


Why did Michael Jackson die fast?

Michael Jackson went into respiratory arrest from an overdose given him by a physician. When a person goes into respiratory arrest, it leads to a cardiac arrest, meaning, the heart stops beating. Michael Jackson died from a combination of cardio-pulmonary arrest since his physician was not present in the room, so no CPR was started until M.J. was already dead.
