| Recovery
Position
- Place a victim who is unconscious but breathing in
the recovery position to keep the airway open.
CAUTION: Do not place the victim in this position if you
suspect a neck or back injury.
- Support the victim's head, and roll him onto his
stomach.
- Bend the victim's arm and knee that are closest to
you. The victim's face should be pointing toward you,
too. The victim's other arm and leg should be straight.
- Carefully tilt back the victim's head so the airway
remains open.
