You have an adult victim with no signs of trauma. You have determined that the victim is unresponsive and you have activated EMS. When do you provide ventilations?
Answer (2)
You should provide ventilations to an unresponsive adult victim without signs of trauma if they are not breathing or only gasping. After ensuring the airway is open, give 2 rescue breaths followed by CPR if necessary. Continue this process until professional help arrives or the victim begins to breathe normally.
