A victim can be put into the recovery position while awaiting the ambulance. This can be done after the victim starts breathing again after CPR is performed.

1) Tuck the hand nearer to you, arms straight and palm towards the casualty's head
2) Bring the victim's arm that is further from you, across the victim's chest and place the back of his/her hand against the cheek
3) Put your palm against the casualty's palm that is on the cheek and maintain this position
4) Using the other hand, bend the casualty's far knee to a 90 degree angle
5) Hold the casualty's far hip and roll him/her towards you
6) Use your knee or thigh to support the casualty's body as you turn him or her towards you to prevent the casualty from rolling too far forward
7) Ensure the casualty's cheek is resting on the back of his or her palm
8) Check that the casualty's other hand is lying free alongside his/her body with palm facing upwards
