You can NOT do ANYTHING unless you ask them "can I help you" and they nodd, or in SOME way agree to be helped. If they are unconcious and you help them survive they can come back and sue you later.

"A person who renders emergency medical services or aid to an ill, injured or unconscious person, at the immediate scene of an accident or emergency that has caused the illness, injury or unconsciousness, is
not liable for damages for injury to or death of that person caused by the person's act or omission in rendering the medical services or aid unless that person is grossly negligent."
*That's a BC site, but there are similar statements across most province's laws.
