Until the transportation of the victim to the hospital, the waiting position must be a position that allows good breathing.

Depending on the injuries and/or the condition the victim presents, the positioning will be:

• in the case of dislocations, sprains or fractures, the correct position will be that of rest (inactivity);
• in the case of major hemorrhages, the victim will be positioned on the back with the lower limbs raised at 30-40 degrees relative to the position of the torso;
• in the case of a cardio-respiratory arrest, the position of the victim will be on the back;
• in the case of forearm, jaw or mandible fractures, the position of the victim will be sitting;
• in the case of a rib fracture and the victim is conscious, he or she will be positioned semi-sitting with the back supported, and if he or she is unconscious, will be positioned laterally on the injured side;
• in the case of a cranial fracture, the victim will be positioned horizontal, on one side;
• in the case of a spinal fracture, the victim being conscious will be positioned on the back and if the victim is unconscious, will be positioned on the back with the body lateral.
