If there are no signs of breathing, flight attendants must immediately provide what?

• A. BLS (Basic Life Support)
• B. Oxygen for all passengers
• C. Seizure precautions
• D. Sit the passenger up

Answer: (A)

Not breathing means you must start life-sustaining support right away. The immediate action is Basic Life Support, which centers on keeping blood flowing and oxygen reaching the brain and other vital organs. If you’re trained, begin CPR with chest compressions and, when possible, deliver rescue breaths; continue until help arrives or an AED becomes available and you follow its prompts. Oxygen isn’t given to everyone on board—it's reserved for those who need it as part of a medical response, not as a blanket action for all passengers. Seizure precautions don’t address a nonbreathing situation, and sitting the person up can block the airway and make CPR harder. The priority is to provide Basic Life Support immediately and summon professional help.
