Explanation:

When someone is in cardiac arrest, immediate action is crucial. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) helps keep blood and oxygen flowing to the brain and vital organs. An AED (automated external defibrillator) can deliver an electric shock to potentially restore a normal heart rhythm. However, waiting for an AED without doing anything (as in the option of waiting for someone to get an AED and then perform CPR) wastes precious time. Using only an AED (if it's not immediately available) or only performing CPR (without using an AED when it becomes available) is not the best approach. Performing CPR first until someone brings an AED combines the immediate life - saving measure of CPR with the use of an AED as soon as it is available.

Answer:

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