Regular people as opposed to irregular people?

CPR can be intrusive and offensive to those not suffereing from physical trauma. It is disruptive and ineffective to use CPR on someone who is both conscious, has pulse, and is breathing.

When used on persons not breathing and or with no pulse properly, it can help save their life until medical personel arrive or at least provide the potential to save the victim's life as it prolongs the period of time the body goes without oxygen.
