In what position should we place an unconscious casualty who is breathing normally?
Traffic accidents
Explanation
To attend to an **unconscious injured person who is breathing normally**, it is important to place them in the **recovery position**. This position is crucial because:
- **It allows the injured person to breathe without obstructions**. By being on their side, it prevents the tongue or any fluid from blocking the airways.
- **It facilitates monitoring of the injured person**. If you need to attend to other injured individuals, you can leave the person in this position and continue observing them from a safe distance.
- **It is a sign that the heart is functioning correctly**, as the injured person is breathing normally.
Placing the injured person in this position is a safety measure until emergency services arrive. The injured person should not be placed face down or with their back against the asphalt, as these positions can make breathing difficult and are not safe for the injured person.
