He should perform CPR first until someone brings him an AED.

Why: After calling 911, start high-quality chest compressions immediately (100–120/min, ~2–2.4 in/5–6 cm deep, allow full recoil). If trained and willing, give rescue breaths in a 30:2 ratio; otherwise do hands‑only compressions. Continue CPR until an AED is available — when it arrives, turn it on, attach pads, follow prompts (stop briefly for rhythm analysis/shock), then resume CPR. Continue until EMS takes over or the person shows signs of life.
