The Recovery Position

spacer
     
     
 

If the person is unconscious, there is a safe position to put them in which allows them to breathe easily and stops them choking on any vomit.

Once you have checked that they are breathing normally,

Lay them on one side (with a cushion at their back if possible),

Bring their knee forward

Point their head downward to allow any vomit to escape without them swallowing it or breathing it in.

REMEMBER - WHEN MOVING THE PERSON ONTO THEIR SIDE MAKE SURE THEIR NECK AND BACK DO NOT MOVE.
