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.
1) Lay their right arm onto their left shoulder across their chest. Now, lay their left arm out to the left side of their body.
2) Lay their right leg out to the right side of their body in an upside-down "L" shape.
3) Take their shoulder and hips and roll them away from you.
*DO EVERYTHING SLOWLY*
**ONLY DO THIS TO SOMEONE IF THEIR AIRWAY IS BLOCKED OR THEY HAVE STOPPED BREATHING**
If an adult is not breathing normally commence CPR.
Some people use synonymously recovery position and modified H.A.IN.E.S. recovery position. As you can see from the related link, they are slightly different.

The longest documented successful CPR recovery is 96 minutes. In 2019, a man in the UK survived after receiving CPR for that duration. This case highlights the importance of continuous, high-quality CPR in increasing the chances of survival.
Yes you should put a victim in a recovery position when victim is unresponsive and breathing.
Someone should be put into recovery position when either they have thrown up or is going to throw up. The recovery position prevents the person from choking on their own vomit. Recovery position should not be used if the victim has a spinal injury as paralysis could result.
