The fetal position provides great blood flow, and is one I would recommend.
An alternative is to elevate the feet above the head. This is sometimes referred to as the Trindel (Trindle) Position.
In manual ventilation you can increase the PaO2 by hyperventilating the patient, by increasing the respiratory rate and/or by increasing the volume of air that you deliver to the patient. If using a BVM for example, compressing the bag faster and/or harder will increase the arterial oxygen pressure, but there is a limit to what you can do with manual ventilation. Perfusion in the lungs has a major impact on PaO2. Also, the blood chenistry (anemia or CO2 poisoning) for example will dramatically decrease the PaO2. Sometimes no matter how much you hyperventilate the person, low PaO2 can't be corrected.
The largest one - femoral, but it all depends on the wound, other injuries, blood pressure, position of the patient....
a small amount of the protein labeled with a radioisotope is injected into the patient's hand or arm vein. The patient is positioned under a special camera that can detect radioactive material
A patient who has an arterial pH of 7.6 should be watched carefully. The cut off for normal levels is 7.45, so their blood is more basic than alkaline. If it rises anymore, they may need more intense medical treatment.

The Trendelenburg position is used for patients in shock to increase blood flow, by gravity, from the major vessels in the lower extremities to the brain to help increase the blood pressure enough to keep the patient stable until advanced medical care is available.
The medical term for a patient lying on his belly is the prone position. The opposite of the prone position is supine, or the patient lying flat on his back.
