Conscious patients should not be placed in the recovery position if they have a suspected spinal injury, as this could exacerbate any potential damage. Additionally, if the patient is experiencing severe respiratory distress or if they are vomiting and unable to protect their airway, alternative measures may be necessary. In cases of cardiac arrest, immediate CPR should take precedence over positioning. Lastly, if the patient is unresponsive but breathing adequately, they should be placed in the recovery position to maintain an open airway.
