Assessing an unresponsive casualty DRs ABC

Why would they be unconscious? Electric shock An overdose (drugs) Alcohol Heart attack Hit by someone (something) Fainting Fall Temperature Dehydration Dizzieness Pain of an injury Hypothemia Shock Drowning Panic attack Big loss of blood Suffication Choking Fear/Phobia Hunger Head injury Stroke Illness Condition or Ailment

Recovery Position Kneel down next to casualty Put the casualties hand closest to you, up to a 90 degree angle Lift the hand furthest away from you and put the back of their hand to their check closest to you and hold it there With your other hand lift their knee up that is furtherst away from you so it looks like a triangle Pull their knee over their other leg, make sure to keep your other hand on their hand that is on their cheek Pull the whole body over using their knee so it looks like they are sleeping on their side Occasionally cheak that their airway is open and stay with them as much as you can and assure them

Why put a casualty into the recovery position? It stops them from choking on their vomit or blood (if applicable) You can leave them if nessesary because they will be safe and stable It stops something from possibly choking them (you have said this twice ;0)
