When should you move an injured person while giving CPR?
You should move an injured person only if:
- The person is in immediate danger (such as a fire or building collapse)
- Their breathing is obstructed (such as by a foreign object in the airway or a chest injury)
- You cannot perform CPR properly (such as if you are unable to access the person's chest)
How to move an injured person while giving CPR
If you need to move an injured person while giving CPR:
- Gently roll them onto their side, keeping their head and neck in line
- If the object is visible and easily accessible, use a finger to remove it
- If the object is not visible or cannot be easily removed, do not attempt to remove it
- Continue CPR as soon as the person is in a safe position
Always call 911 or your local emergency number immediately if someone is injured and you are not sure what to do.
