To relieve an obstructed airway in an unresponsive adult patient, first, call for emergency medical help. Perform the Heimlich maneuver if the patient is still breathing, or if they are completely unresponsive, initiate CPR while checking the mouth for any visible obstruction. Use back blows and chest thrusts if the patient is conscious but choking. If unresponsive, continue with CPR and attempt to clear the airway with each rescue breath.
