Recovery Position in American Football Emergencies

Modified Recovery Position Procedure

Emergency Situation: Use this position to leave the player safely to seek help.

Procedure: Extend the arm above the head and shoulder to keep one arm straight, supporting the head and helmet weight.

Adjustment: If the head may droop, use the second hand to support the face cage.

Leave Safely: Ensure the player is positioned to minimize airway compromise risks, especially for vomiting.

Returning and Re-checking

After Calling for Help: Re-check for signs of life and airway clearance.

Method: Look, listen for breath sounds, and check the rise and fall of the chest.

Pulse Check: Assess for a pulse if necessary.
