Clearly dear you are not mentally equiped to handle emergencies. Seemingly heathy 27 year olds can have lethal arrhythmias. Arrythimias can look like seizure activity, that is why a AED should have been placed on the poor man who lay there dying without much needed oxygen. The best thing you could have done was called 9-1-1 and yelled at the top of your lungs "does anyone know cpr". The 9-1-1 operator can also give you CPR instruction over the phone, I did'nt see you mention that someone called. If you are going to open up your own personal training facility might I suggest buying a wall poster with the instructions and pictures written out that you may post on a wall. You can purchase that from the American Heart Association. Having obese patients and those with high blood pressure is very risky without having equipment at your dispossal ie: blood pressure cuff, pulse oxymetry. These people are in a very high risk category and you are asking for trouble. I'm sorry if I sound cold and unsympathetic but you providing CPR may be the difference between life and death. Clearly you see this or you would'nt be losing sleep over the 27 year old who is still intubated and may have suffered permanant brain damage from his lack of oxygen. Good luck with your studio and please consider sitting it on a CPR course to refresh or relearn these important skills. just know that it only takes 6 minutes for the brain to begin dying without oxygen and the ambulance may take longer than that.
