5-2 Position the Casualty
The first step is to position
the casualty.
- Move the casualty to cover, if it is available and the situation permits.
- Lay the casualty on his or her back unless a sitting position will allow the casualty to breathe easier.
- Elevate the casualty's feet higher than the heart, using a stable object.
- Do not elevate the casualty's legs if the casualty has an abdominal wound, unsplinted fracture of the leg, or a head wound.
