As a medical professional, it's crucial to assess the situation accurately and provide the appropriate life-saving measures. If someone has a pulse but is not breathing, the correct procedure is to administer rescue breathing. Here's what you should do: 1. Call emergency services immediately if you haven't already. 2. Position the person on their back, ensuring their airway is clear. 3. Place your mouth close to the person's mouth and pinch their nose closed. 4. Take a normal breath and give one rescue breath, making sure to see the chest rise. 5. Continue rescue breathing at a rate of 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds, which is approximately 10-12 breaths per minute. Remember, this is a temporary measure until professional medical help arrives. read more >>
