For an unconscious person not breathing normally, every minute counts. The chain of survival relies on three actions: call for help (112 in Belgium/EU), compress (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and defibrillate as soon as an AED is available. An AED gives voice guidance and only delivers a shock if needed.
