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.
