  1. Stay calm and assess the situation. Check for any immediate dangers or hazards.

  2. Gently lay the person down on their back on a flat surface. Elevate their legs to help improve blood flow to the brain.

  3. Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If they are not breathing or do not have a pulse, call for emergency medical assistance immediately and begin CPR if you are trained to do so.

  4. Loosen any tight clothing around the neck and chest to help improve breathing.

  5. Check for any signs of injury or trauma, such as bleeding or broken bones. If there are any visible injuries, do not move the person unless necessary.

  6. Keep the person calm and reassure them when they regain consciousness. Offer them water and ensure they are in a safe and comfortable position.

  7. If the person does not regain consciousness within a few minutes, call for emergency medical assistance immediately.

  8. Monitor the person's condition and stay with them until help arrives.

  9. If the person has a history of fainting episodes or underlying medical conditions, such as heart problems or low blood sugar, make sure to inform the medical professionals when they arrive.

Generally NOTHING, If someone really FAINTS. Of course, if you are quickly enough to catch them, soften their way down. Again, just soften their way down, don't hold the person upright, sitting or with the head elevated. On the contrary, if the person stays sitting in the chair or against the wall -- lay them with the head on the ground.

Check their breathing to make sure it's the faint and not the cardiac arrest, for example! If there's no breathing start CPR immediately, but it's another topic.

In the case of normal breathing do nothing. Standard recommendations are call emergency and put the person in the recovery position (on their side), but hold off on doing these for the first minute, because most simple faints ends within ~30 s and the ambulance isn't required. DO NOT torture the fainted person with ammonia, slaps, cold water etc. It isn't good to wake them up until their brain gets fully recovered from oxygen deprivation.
