Remember your ABCs. Airway, Breathing and Circulation. If you are not trained in emergency medicine, do not attempt to find out what's wrong. Call 911, explain to the operator what happened. If the person has arrested, you will be instructed to begin CPR.
Always follow the 911 operator's instructions to the letter. Do not leave the scene until EMTs have arrived. Stay on the phone with the operator. Don't hang up. Once the EMTs have arrived, do not leave until you are told to do so. If the EMTs tell you to back off, do it. Let them do their jobs.

If the victim collapses in front of you
and unconscious you need to determine what happen
stay calm
you should begin rescue breathing on the person
call an ambulance
but keep the rescue breathing going

If breathing is good call 911 immediately and watch the patient for continued breathing-if they stop find someone to help with breaths and pump the heart until 911 arrives.

Check for a pulse and respirations. If none are present start CPR and then call 911.

I will make sure that you are no where around me if I collapse. I don't want you to touch me.
Getting your first aid/CPR training on Yahoo Answers....yeah, that makes me trust you.

check their pulse, check their breathing..if missing, start CPR. If they're breathing and pulse is good, elevate feet and cover them (treat for shock). Call 911.
