Could be. Breathing is not a response. A person who is unconscious would be unresponsive and still breathing.
Umm...if it isn't breathing and it has no heart beat, it's probably dead... if not, and it's still breathing...get it to a vet...(here's my question: why would you do that?!)
To relieve an obstructed airway in an unresponsive adult patient, first, call for emergency medical help. Perform the Heimlich maneuver if the patient is still breathing, or if they are completely unresponsive, initiate CPR while checking the mouth for any visible obstruction. Use back blows and chest thrusts if the patient is conscious but choking. If unresponsive, continue with CPR and attempt to clear the airway with each rescue breath.
In this case, the brainstem, which controls essential functions such as breathing and heart rate, is likely still functioning. This is why the person is able to continue living without life-sustaining equipment, even though they may be unresponsive.
True
Agonal gasps are not productive and are not considered breathing. If patient has a pulse then give breaths at a rate of once every 5 seconds using a BVM attached to 100% o2 at 15lpm. CPR would be warranted if they are pulseless.
Tip the head to open the airway. If still agonal breathing, give 2 breaths & start CPR.
The duration of Still Breathing is 1.82 hours.
yes. actually it happened to me. i was in my coffin (when it was open) and i just jumped out at everyone. also when my sister "died" she was still breathing

To treat cold water shock, the first step is to get the person out of the cold water and onto dry land if possible. Keep them warm by wrapping them in blankets or using a heated source, and encourage gentle warming of the body. Monitor their breathing and heart rate; if they are unresponsive or not breathing, call emergency services and perform CPR if trained. It's also important to keep them calm and avoid sudden movements, as their body may still be reacting to the temperature change.
See if he is still breathing. If he's still breathing, he's not dead.
