Checking for Signs of Life

Responding to Absence of Signs of Life
If no signs of life:
- Call for Help: Immediately request assistance.
- Commence Chest Compressions: Begin life-saving chest compressions.
Wait for assistance to safely remove equipment for further player assessment if signs of life are present.
