What should you do if the victim begins to breathe normally during CPR?

When a victim begins to breathe normally during CPR, placing them in the recovery position and monitoring their condition is the appropriate response. The recovery position helps maintain an open airway while allowing fluid to drain from the mouth, reducing the risk of choking. Furthermore, this position ensures that the person is safe and comfortable until professional medical help arrives.

Continuing CPR would be unnecessary once normal breathing has resumed, as the main goal of CPR is to restore regular breathing and circulation. Leaving the victim to call for help can be dangerous, as it may lead to a worsening of their condition without monitoring. Starting first aid for other injuries is also not appropriate, as ensuring the victim's airway and breathing takes precedence. Therefore, placing the victim in the recovery position is the best course of action in this scenario.
