Check for pulse.
After 30 compressions, give two quick breaths. IF you don't want to give the breaths, just keep pumping. Be sure to update First Responders that you've done "Hands-only CPR."
If someone can grab a defib, set it up and let 'er rip.

What do to relieve an obstruted airway from an unresponsive adult patient?
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.
What should you do if giving a bath on a shower chair and patient suddenly gasps and become unresponsive?
If a patient suddenly gasps and becomes unresponsive while on a shower chair, immediately call for help and ensure the area is safe. Check for responsiveness and breathing; if the patient is unresponsive and not breathing, initiate CPR and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available. Continue CPR until emergency medical services arrive or the patient shows signs of recovery. Always document the incident and follow your facility's protocols for such emergencies.
Does the medical term unresponsive mean you are in a coma?
No, unresponsive means the the patient/victim does not respond to stimuli such as touching, pinching etc.. Brain dead on the other hand, means that there is no brain activity. Simply put, an unresponsive patient may respond again; a brain dead patient will NEVER respond again (s/he cannot be resuscitated). Wendy Cadogan EMT-P
