When a person is unconscious (but breathing and pulse are present) they can be placed in the recovery position. There are a few aims for this, they are:
1. It is a comfortable position for the patient.
2. The airway can remain open (making breathing possible).
3. Any vomit can be drained from the mouth (the person will not choke on his/her vomit).
4. The person can not fall (as he/she is already on the floor).
5. There is room for the chest to rise and fall during breathing.
