The most critical is call 911 (or if you are in a hospital or care facility, follow your protocols). You aren't going to save them alone. Next would be deep rapid compressions. Keep that blood moving and oxygen to the brain. There are many aspects to CPR that are critical, these are the most critical in my opinion.
Edit: As always, keep yourself safe. That should be first. :)
