    When an unconscious person is breathing normally but requires medical assistance, they should be placed in the recovery position to keep their airway open and allow fluids to drain from the mouth, preventing choking from the tongue. The recovery position is achieved by straightening the casualty's legs, raising the arm nearest to the responder at a 90 degree angle above the head, and rolling the casualty onto their side by lifting their farthest leg and nearest arm to maintain an open airway.
