If the patient is in the recovery position and the airway is open do this:

1.put your ear to the mouth and nose area while looking at their chest

2. If they are breathing you should be able to hear and feel the air coming out of their nose and mouth aswell as seeing their chest moving up and down in time.

3.If the patient isn't breathing (after checking) then you will need to get an experienced person to do CPR - if you are unexperienced DO NOT TRY as you could injure the patient-call for help
