Recovery Position
1. Kneel next to the victim who is lying on their back. 2. Have one arm stretched out across the floor, and the other arm folded to touch their opposite shoulder. 3. Support the head of the victim and lift the knee that is closest to you. 4. Roll the victim gently away from you. The knee of the victim should be rolled towards the same side where the victim’s arm is stretched out across the floor. The knee should end up resting on the floor, bent at a 90 degree angle, while the other leg is straight. These steps of the recovery position need to be carried out carefully and slowly incase the victim has been injured. By moving them in the recovery position quickly it could worsen the injury. |
