Agreed, priority is to ensure there’s oxygen to the brain- but in the process of ascertaining if they’re indeed unconscious, don’t start by grabbing their shoul

Agreed, priority is to ensure there’s oxygen to the brain- but in the process of ascertaining if they’re indeed unconscious, don’t start by grabbing their shoulders and shaking them violently. Touching their hands and face as pointed out in a sibling comment is better, and after determining that they’re not breathing and have no pulse definitely proceed with vigorous CPR because potentially paralyzed is of course better than dead. Also, be aware of whether Good Samaritan laws protect you from liability before deciding to proceed.
