When moving a breathing person into recovery position?
When moving a breathing person into recovery position, follow these steps:
1. Check the scene and make sure it's safe for both you and the person.
2. Kneel beside the person.
3. Place the person's arm that's closest to you at a right angle to their body, with their palm facing up.
4. Bring their other arm across their chest and rest it on their first arm.
5. Gently roll the person onto their side, keeping their head and neck in line and making sure their airway is clear.
6. Support their head and neck with one hand and use your other hand to straighten their legs.
7. Stay with the person until medical help arrives.
Here are some additional tips for moving a breathing person into recovery position:
* If the person is wearing a heavy backpack or other bulky clothing, loosen or remove it before moving them.
* Be careful not to roll the person too far onto their side, as this could block their airway.
* If the person vomits, turn them onto their side again to help clear their airway.
Recovery position is a safe and comfortable position for a breathing person who is unconscious. By following these steps, you can help ensure that the person is able to maintain a clear airway and continue breathing until medical help arrives.
