    Study Notes

    Recovery Position

    • The recovery position is preferred for monitoring unconscious, breathing victims with no suspected spinal/head injury.
    • The position helps prevent suffocation and aspiration of stomach contents by allowing vomit to drain from the airway.

    Risks of Lying Face Up

    • Unconscious victims may vomit, which can lead to aspiration.
    • The victim's tongue may fall backward, blocking the airway.

    Basic Principles of Recovery Position

    • The victim should be on their side with their head and mouth pointed downward.
    • This allows vomit or blood to drain from the airway, preventing suffocation and aspiration.

    HAINES Method

    • The HAINES method (High Arm IN Endangered Spine) is a common and efficient recovery position.
    • It assumes all unconscious victims are injured and require spinal protection and immobilization.

    Placing a Victim in the Recovery Position (HAINES Method)

    • Ensure the victim is lying flat on their back (supine) and straight as possible.
    • Kneel beside the victim about half-way up their body.
    • Raise the victim's closest arm above their head and place the opposite arm across the chest with their hand cupping the side of their neck.
    • Bend the victim's leg at the knee opposite to you.
    • Gently roll the victim toward you, placing their head on the initially raised arm.
