trick is; do not panic and just do your best. Preparation and more knowledge helps also. But in any case do your best till someone who knows more arrives.

Anyone can learn what to do in a six hour class. Our entire family from 9-70 took a class together after my mom dropped with sudden cardiac arrest 3 years ago. Her sisters were with her and started CPR and gave her chance until the medics arrived. She was in asystole on medic arrival and 37 min later got a rhythm back. She spent 3 days ICU in a coma and then pulled out of it slowly. Within a few months she was back to 90 percent normal. Her only side effect is some short term memory issues. You would never know she was dead for thirty min if you talked to her. Look up your local CPR class and go. You might be able to save your own loved one or a perfect stranger. Nothing worse than not knowing what to do in that situation.

I agree with WestTexasS2K and think that it is something that should be taught to all people.

I know that all the employees at my place of employment are trained and we do a refresher class every other year mainly due to having an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator).

The American Red Cross has classes and most Fire Departments will also put a class together for a group of people so look into getting the training as you never know who or when you might need to know CPR.
