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 clear
- B = breathing, is the person breathing
- C = circulation, is the heart beating, does the person have a pulse
An 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.

What should someone do upon encountering an unconscious person?
If the person finding the unconscious person is trained in First Aid, then use your skills to check for breathing and react appropriately, removing the blockage if applicable and beginning CPR. If two people find someone unconscious, one person stays with the unconscious person and the other goes to call 911 for emergency assistance. Even if only one person finds someone unconscious and knows First Aid, 911 must still be called because CPR is only designed to keep the heart and brain full of blood while EMT is making their way to the person.
What is the first thing you should do when you come upon someone unconscious?
Check for responsiveness by gently shaking and calling out to the person. If they do not respond, call emergency services immediately and check for breathing and a pulse. Then, carefully place the person in the recovery position while waiting for help to arrive.
