What is a median in a highway?
A median is an area in the middle along the highway (between the two directions) that is used to separate opposing traffic and provide areas for out-of-control vehicles recovery, emergency stopping, left-turning and U-turning vehicles storage and pedestrians refuge. A median's width ranges from 1.2m to 24m. The economic factor mainly controls the median width.
How should the casualty be placed if they begin to breathe normally but are still unconscious?
In the recovery position
What is the name of the position used to place an unconscious casualty?
The Recovery Position, or Lateral Recombant. Care should be taken when placing the patient in this position that no spinal injuries are suspected, and that the airway is open. Also check the modified Haines position, which creates less torsion on the spine. See links.
Why are patients placed in the recovery position?
To help prevent injury as they 'come to'. it also helps to free the airway.
Do you turn a person onto their side when unconscious?
Yes, after ensuring the patient is breathing and their airway and mouth is clear of obstructions (such as dentures), then the patient should be turned on their side and placed in the recovery position.
What Put a victim in the recovery position when the victim is?
Yes you should put a victim in a recovery position when victim is unresponsive and breathing.
How long to keep a casualty in recovery position?

What can happen unconscious casualty left on their back?
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.

Pregnant women : always put an unconscious pregnant woman in recovery position on her left side . This prevents compression of the Inferior vena cava by the uterus, which could be fatal for both the mother and the child.
What is HAINES recovery position?
The HAINES Recovery Position is a position designed to reduce lateral cervical flexion for all 'unconscious, suspected spinal injured' patients who need airway and spinal protection where there is a lack of spinal immobilisation equipment readily available. eg in a pre-hospital environment prior to the arrival of trained Paramedics. It is also suitable in a multiple casualty scenario where the 'Mechanism of Injury' leads you to suspect a potential spinal injury and the available resources are unable to cope. This position has been clinically researched and benchmarked against the Lateral Recovery position where it has clearly shown to offer significant reductions in cervical movement. Finally, this recovery position was recognised and recommended for use by the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Red Cross in 2005.
