- Victim is not breathing, or not breathing normally.
- Pulse checks have been removed and should not be performed at all.
AED Responders (Trained Security and/or Lay Rescuer)
- Call 911 & obtain the closest AED, while someone begin hands only CPR (chest compressions 100/MIN only, without ventilations). Do not delay calling 911/obtaining AED to deliver CPR.
- Once AED arrives power the device on and follow voice prompts. At this time the AED becomes the team leader.

Volunteer Responder Responsibilities
