You are on your own on the scene of an accident in which an injured person needs resuscitation. Should you proceed to performing resuscitation without a prior call for help?
Description
Guidelines of the Polish Resuscitation Council (http://www.prc.krakow.pl/2010/)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. First make sure it is safe to approach. If the person is unresponsive, call 112 or 999 immediately, preferably on speakerphone. Assess breathing while waiting for the call to be answered. If breathing is not normal, start CPR promptly—do not wait for the call to be answered or finished. The dispatcher can help if you are unsure.
