First aid - Recovery position

HOW TO PUT A PERSON INTO THE RECOVERY POSITION ?

SAFETY FIRST AND CALL FOR HELP

 1. Make sure there is no danger to you, the person who needs help and bystanders

 before giving help.

 2. The victim needs urgent help. If not yet done, shout or call for help if you are alone but do not leave the person unattended. Ask a bystander to seek help or to arrange urgent transport to the nearest healthcare facility. Tell him to come back to you to confirm that help has been secured.

HOW TO PUT A PERSON INTO THE RECOVERY POSITION

 3. Put the person on the floor if he is not there already.

 4. Remove the person’s spectacles if necessary.

 5. Kneel down by the side of the casualty.

 6. Make sure both of his legs are outstretched.

 7. Place the nearest arm (the one on the side you are kneeling next to) at right angles to

 his body.

 8. Bend the forearm upwards with palm facing up.

 9. Lay the person’s other arm across his chest.

10. Hold the back of this hand against his cheek on the side at which you are

 kneeling.

 11. Keep that hand in that position.

12. With your other free hand, grasp the leg on the other side of the person’s body under the knee.

13. Raise that leg, but leave the person’s foot on the ground.

14. Pull the raised leg towards you.

 15. In the meantime, keep the back of the person’s hand held against his cheek. Roll the person towards you so he turns on his side.

16. Position the person’s upper leg in such a way that his hip and knee are at right angles.

17. The person is now in a turned position and will not turn on his back.

 18. Tilt the head of the person backwards to keep the airway open.

 19. Make sure the mouth is angled towards the ground. This will prevent the risk of choking on blood or vomit.

20. Adjust the hand under the cheek if necessary so that the head remains tilted backwards and the mouth remains at a downward angle.

 (A casualty lying position is commonly referred to in the ‘recovery position’)

 21. Do not leave a casualty alone and continue observing his condition and monitoring his breathing.
