What to do

1. If approaching is safe and unresponsive, call now on speaker. Check normal breathing while connecting.
2. Only with normal breathing and no accident/injury: recovery position. Gasps or abnormal breathing: CPR, not recovery position.
3. Later pregnancy, normal breathing, no injury: prefer the left side. If breathing becomes abnormal: back onto the back and CPR, not continued side positioning.
4. Adult or child from age1: kneel beside them. Near arm at right angle, palm up. Other hand back against near cheek, held there. Baby: use only the baby branch below.
5. Bend the far knee, foot flat. Holding the hand at the cheek, pull that knee to roll them toward you. Set upper leg at a right angle.
6. Gently tilt the head back and lift the chin to keep the airway open.
7. Watch breathing continuously. If no longer normal, turn onto their back and start CPR with dispatcher guidance.
8. Unresponsive child breathing effectively, no injury: keep airway open and watch continuously. Baby: head almost neutral, not far back or chin onto chest.
9. Normally breathing baby, no injury: securely cradle with supported head slightly lower for drainage, mouth/nose free. Abnormal breathing: onto the back and open child CPR.
10. Unable to roll or support safely: ask another helper and follow dispatcher advice to keep airway open. Stay with them. Do not force a manoeuvre.
