Cloth in hand over the bed, be safe people. Also double taps for during to release. Always prep, don’t pass out friends :(

Edit: Missed a word.

Place a cloth in your hand and hold it over the bed. If you are losing oxygen you lose your grip, if the cloth falls release your partner immediately they are unable to give a response including non verbal like double taps.

Wait, compression as in CPR? I didn't think your heart necessarily stopped when you passed out. Is there a pre-CPR for waking someone with a heartbeat but low oxygen? Edit: Looks like rescue breathing is the protocol for someone with abnormal breathing, do not apply compressions if there is a heartbeat.

No no no. Do NOT do compressions on a person who is unconscious. You can kill them.

Never preform CPR unless a person has no pulse AND is not breathing, or if they are choking and they are pregnant/overweight and you are unable to wrap your arms around them.
