STEP 2<br />
ROLL THE Victim TOWARDS THE RESCUER<br />
• Put your palm against the victim’s<br />
palm that is on the cheek and<br />
maintain position. Using your<br />
other hand, hold the victim’s far<br />
hip and roll him towards you until<br />
he is lying on his side.<br />
• Use your knees to support the<br />
victim’s body as you turn him so as<br />
to prevent him from rolling too far<br />
forward.<br />
STEP 3<br />
FINAL RECOVERY POSITION<br />
• Ensure that the victim’s head (cheek) is lying on the back of his palm.<br />
• Check that the victim’s other hand is lying free along side his body with palm facing<br />
upwards.<br />
• The former far leg<br />
should preferably be<br />
bent at the knee at<br />
about 90 degrees.<br />
• Continue to monitor<br />
the victim’s pulse and<br />
breathing every few<br />
minutes as these can<br />
stop suddenly.<br />
