Recovery position: the safe position

Person unconscious but BREATHING → roll them onto the side, or tongue/vomit blocks the airway — the main cause of “he just slept” deaths. Steps: 1) kneel beside. 2) Near arm at 90° under the head. 3) Bend far knee, far hand back-of-hand to near cheek. 4) Roll them toward you by the knee. 5) Top leg bent like a “rider”. 6) Tilt head back — airway free. Check breathing every 30 s.

• ●Breathes → side, NOT breathing → back, compressions. The difference decides
• ●Pregnant → only left side (venous pressure)
• ●Cover with a blanket: hypothermia kills without injury
