Haines Recovery Position for the Unresponsive person with respirations and a pulse

[wcresponder]

this patient would have face planted if truely unconscious.

This is one of several ways of achieving the basic recovery position which has a patient on their side with their airway open. Other positions have the lower arm straight out or behind the back. Nearly 60% of trauma victims die because their airway is closed, or because of regurgitation of stomach contents when the cardiac sphincter relaxes and they are on their back. There are other variations but any well trained paramedic would see nothing wrong with this demonstration.

THIS IS AN OLDER METHOD and if they have any other trauma congratulations you just made it 20000000% worse

if the neck might be injured, then you should support the neck when shiting the person onto their side
