2.Openuptheairways

Lay the subject on his/her back and check the

breathing.

Liftthesubject’schinupandtilttheheadslightly

backwards with the other hand. Ensure that the

herbreathing.

If youare sure that the subject is breathingnor-

mallyafteroneminute,placehim/her inastable

sidewaysposition.

Then check for other injuries that require treat-

ment.

3.In the event of abnormal or the absence of

breathing:Calltheswitchboard,thendial113
