CPR should be initiated when a person is unresponsive and not breathing or only gasping. It is crucial to assess the situation quickly; if the person shows no signs of life, such as movement or normal breathing, immediate CPR can help maintain blood flow to vital organs until emergency medical services arrive. Time is critical, so starting CPR promptly increases the chances of survival.
