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
