And to continue till the time AED (defibrillator arrives) or patient gains consciousness or stable pulse and heart rate. But Whatever he had done is commendable. Doing it all by himself. We need more people like him. And I think everyone should and must be well verse with Basic CPR steps with so many increasing number of cardiac arrest cases increasing day by day. Yet again a very well done job."
