IF THE PERSON IS UNCONSCIOUS

1. Check breathing and pulse. If breathing is abnormal or absent, or if there is no pulse, begin the appropriate procedures for respiratory or cardiac arrest. If the victim is found unconscious as a result of a fall, blow or similar cause, always consider the possibility of a fractured spine.
