Should you do a CPR for someone can't breath but he is conscious?
Yes. You do CPR to mimic the action of the heart. If a person has a pulse it means their heart is pumping. If you give CPR to someone with no pulse, when their heart starts again they will typically vomit as a result of all the pushing on the chest. At that point stop and roll them on to their side so they dont choke. Edit: Dont confuse not breathing with a stopped heart. A person can have a pulse and still not be breathing. Think of being underwater. If you come across a person that is not breathing but has a pulse you need to open the airway. Lay them on their back, tilt the head backwards and open the jaw. Look for and clear any obstructions in their mouth.
