If the sick or injured person does not respond and is unconscious what should you then do?
You would check the ABCs, and call 911 or yell for someone to call 911. The ABCs of first aid are:A = airway, is the airway clearB = breathing, is the person breathingC = circulation, is the heart beating, does the person have a pulseAn unconscious person is at risk of a blocked airway from the tongue moving back into the throat, or at risk of vomiting and aspirating (breathing in) vomit into the lungs. Both of these are life-threatening. So as soon as you know a person has the ABCs intact, you need to roll the person onto his side. To protect the spine, you'd keep the person's neck straight and supported and roll the person as a "unit" or like a log. As long as the ABCs remain intact, you do not need to do anything else except wait for the paramedics. Stay with the patient. When paramedics arrive they will need you to tell them what you saw/what happened, and what emergency steps you have done.

Why do you have to open airway quickly on a casualty that has no control over her muscles?
The brain can only survive without oxygen for a very short amount of time. The priorities in an injured person are to remove the person from the area of danger, then to ensure an adequate airway, breathing and assess circulation. Airway is the most important because without an open airway and adequate breathing to promote oxygenation of blood, all other interventions will fail. In the setting of injury, especially if there is potential for head or neck injury, cervical spine stabilization should be maintained. This means that when opening the airway, you should not extend the neck. Instead a jaw lift should be performed and an airway adjunct may be needed to lift the tongue from the oropharynx to open the airway. Breathing may need to be assisted if there are no spontaneous ventilations. This can be done mouth-to-mouth or with an assistive device, such as a bag-valve-mask. ---- her tongue may fall backward and obstruct her airway ---- For the Air Force SABC: her tongue may fall backward and obstruct her airway
