Its harder to breathe that way. Also, if there is evidence of trauma, blood or other fluids would collect in the patients airway. The tongue is also relaxed and it could fall backwards into the throat and stop air flow. And if they are breathing after having CPR performed on them, they could throw up from th air in their stomach and the vomit could obstruct the airway. Recovery position is ideal.

Is the firefighters carry and the pack strap carry the same thing?

There are some slight differences between the two and their main intention. For example, the fireman's carry is one of the easiest ways to carry an unconscious person, while the pack strap carry is made for moving heavy casualty patients longer distances.Here are the steps for each one:Fireman's Carry1 .Place the casualty face down. Face the casualty, and kneel on one knee at the casualty's head. Pass your hands under the armpits; then slide your hands down the sides and grasp them across the back.2. Raise the casualty to his knees. Take a better hold across the casualty's back.3. Raise the casualty to a standing position and place your right leg between the casualty's legs. Grasp the right wrist in your left hand and swing the arm around the back of your neck and down your left shoulder.4. Stoop quickly and pull the casualty across your shoulders and, at the same time, put your right arm between the casualty's legs.5. Grasp the casualty's right wrist with your right hand and straighten up. Do not attempt if the casualty has an injured arm, leg, ribs, neck, or back!Pack-Strap Carry1. Place the casualty face up.2. Lie down on your side along the casualty's uninjured or less injured side. Your shoulder should be next to the casualty's armpit.3. Pull the casualty's far leg over your own, holding it there if necessary.4. Grasp the casualty's far arm at the wrist and bring it over your upper shoulder as you roll and pull the casualty onto your back.5. Rise up on your knees, using your free arm for balance and support. Hold both of the casualty's wrists close against your chest with your other hand.6. Lean forward as you rise to your feet, and keep both of your shoulders under the casualty's armpits.Do not attempt if the casualty has an injured arm, ribs, neck, or back!

When rolling an unconscious casualty onto his back which parts of his body should you support in case there is a spinal injury?

Ideally you would have a team of three to do a proper logroll. If you do, follow these steps:One person holds the casualty's head between their hands, with their left hand on the right side of the head and their right hand on the left. This allows them to keep steady control of the head during the roll. Once this person takes hold of the head, they must keep the head absolutely still with regard to spinal cord movement and they CANNOT let go until the logroll is complete (although it is strongly recommended that the head-holder never lets go until the casualty is fully backboarded, in a tactical situation this may not be possible)The other two people get on the same side of the person (coordinate with the head-holder as to which side so that they know how to cross their arms in step 1) - you will be rolling the person towards you so make sure you have spaceRaise the casualty's arm closest to you (the two rollers) so that it is fully extended above their head (as though the casualty were raising their hand high to ask a question)The roller closest to the casualty's head places one hand on the casaulty's far shoulder and one hand on the far hipThe second roller places one hand just above the casualty's far hip and their other hand on the casualty's far kneeThe person holding the head will count to three aloud. On three, the two rollers will slowly and smoothly roll the casualty's back towards them - (pulling their arms inwards) IN COORDINATION WITH the head-holder - until the casualty is fully on their backI strongly suggest you get hands-on training for this before attempting it.

Why should you lie on your left side when unconscious and vomiting?

Lying on your left side helps prevent choking if you are unconscious and vomiting by allowing the vomit to flow out of your mouth, rather than block your airway. This position also helps reduce the risk of aspiration, where vomit enters your lungs.
