Put the closest arm to you at a 90 degree angle on the floor Bring the furthest away arm towards you then place it on the closest cheek and hold it there With your other hand lift the furthest away leg up so that the knee is pointing to the ceiling Then pull the leg towards you,over the other leg onto the floor,always keep your other hand on the casualties cheek Pull the body towards you using there knee so they are lying on there side

4 Why do we use the recovery position
It prevents the casualties tongue from blocking there airway It promotes drainage of fluids, such as blood or vomit, from their mouth It keeps the casualty in a safe position if they have to be left alone
