How to put a child in the recovery position | Paediatric First Aid Refresher | iHASCO

The recovery position for a child is the same as that for an adult, but here’s a reminder of what to do. Once the child is in the recovery position you should call for medical assistance if this hasn’t already been done. Remember to recheck their breathing at regular intervals until medical help arrives. If it stops, you’ll need to give them CPR. If the child has to be kept in the recovery position for more than 30 minutes, turn them onto their opposite side to relieve the pressure on their lower arm, unless they have injuries that prevent this.

To put a child into the recovery position: • Kneel beside the child and get yourself into a comfortable position. • If they’re wearing glasses take them off. • Make sure that both their legs are straight. • Place their arm nearest to you out at a right angle to their body with the elbow bent and the palm facing upwards. Their arm can be placed straight out to the side if it can’t be placed at a right angle. • Take their other arm and place it across their chest and hold the back of their hand against their cheek nearest you. • With your other hand, lift their far leg, just above the knee. Pull it up, until their foot is flat on the floor. • Now you’re ready to roll them onto their side. • Keeping the child’s hand pressed against their cheek, carefully pull on their bent knee to roll them toward you onto their side. • Now their top arm should be supporting their head and their bent leg should be on the floor to stop them from rolling over. Their top leg should be at a right angle to their body. • Remove your hand from under theirs. • Check the child’s head is tilted back, this will keep their airway open and clear. Once the child is in the recovery position you should call for medical assistance if this hasn’t already been done. Remember to recheck their breathing at regular intervals until medical help arrives. If it stops, you’ll need to give them CPR. If the child has to be kept in the recovery position for more than 30 minutes, turn them onto their opposite side to relieve the pressure on their lower arm, unless they have injuries that prevent this.
