CPR, AED and Basic Heart Life saving

note: Assume you find an unconscious person .  The current guidelines for Red Cross state that
you check for signs of life in adults, then go to CPR if they are not breathing.   The current
guidelines for American Heart Association call for immediate CPR without checking for breathing
in adults if they are unconscious.  Both groups prefer full CPR but allow for compression only
CPR if you are unable or unwilling to perform full CPR with breaths.
