Try to calm your friend down as best you can. First, guide them through some breathing exercises to slow their heart rate and breathing down. Then, talk them through what's going to happen: explain how you're going to survive until help comes, what you're going to do to attract help, etc. Finally, tell them exactly what you need them to do. Someone who is experiencing a lot of anxiety can be easily overwhelmed, so if you leave them to figure it out for themselves, they may end up back in a panic attack.
