| activate the emergency response system for adult | as soon as victim is found |
| activate the emergency response system for child or infant | after giving 5 cycles of CPR, unless you witness child collapsing suddenly |
| checking pulse location for adult or older child | carotid pulse, if no pulse, start CPR |
| checking pulse location for child | carotid pulse, if no pulse or pulse is less than 60 bpm with signs or poor perfusion, start CPR |
| checking pulse location for infant | brachial pulse, if no pulse or pulse is less than 60 bpm with signs or poor perfusion, start CPR |
| a choking victim | will not be able to cough forcefully |
