As a medical professional, I can explain that it is possible to have a pulse without breathing, although it is an unusual and critical situation that requires immediate attention. The pulse is a measure of the heart's activity, while breathing is a function of the respiratory system. In some cases, such as during certain medical emergencies or under the influence of specific drugs, a person's heart may continue to beat with a pulse, but they may not be breathing or may be breathing inadequately. This condition is known as agonal respiration or gasping and is often a sign of severe distress. Immediate medical intervention is necessary in such cases.
If there is no sign of breathing or pulse, begin CPR starting with compressions. ... If the patient definitely has a pulse but is not breathing adequately, provide ventilations without compressions. This is also called "rescue breathing." Adults: give 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds.
