A member asked:
A simple question, and probably silly, when a person is about to vomint is rolling over or sitting the best position,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vomit position: The risk of vomiting when lying down, is chocking or aspiration, this means the vomit going to the lungs, so turning the person to the side, rolling over, sitting up or standing up, is easier to prevent the vomit to go to the lungs.
