Actres Farimah Farjami in a coma following stroke

If the person is unconscious:

• Check for breathing. Tilt the head back and lift the patient’s chin.
• Check if the patient’s chest is rising. Listen if you can hear the person breathing.
• If the person is not breathing, prepare to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). If you haven’t received a CPR training course, consider having one for you to know what to do during emergency situations.
• Let the patient lie down on his or her back.
• Kneel beside the person and give 30 compressions. Push hard and fast.
• Give two rescue breaths. Do this by tilting the head backward and lifting the chin. Give the rescue breaths by pinching the nose shut and giving mouth-to-mouth breaths.
• Perform sets of compressions and rescue breaths until the patient shows signs of life or medical personnel have arrived.
