Isla could only grin in agreement, about uncommon common sense and their poor headless patient both. She let out a soft peal of laughter at his quip about the Ascended, shrugging her shoulders. "If the Ascended in question has decided to take a nap in a place where someone might mistake them for an unconscious person in trouble, they deserve what they get if you ask me!" She shrugged, turning her attention back to their 'patient' and his issue with being unable to breathe.
"So, if I can't wake them, they aren't breathing and their airway isn't blocked, now I can start giving a breath of life and chest compressions," she explained. "As you said before, pinch their nose and create a seal over their mouth with yours. You need to make sure their chest rises - if it doesn't, you might be breathing air into their stomach instead. Give two breaths, then thirty compressions. It's what I was taught, anyway."
To demonstrate, Isla straightened out her arms and locked her hands over one another, positioning them over the patient's chest area. "When I press down I need to make sure that the chest falls at least a couple of inches. It can crack ribs, but... it's better than death."
