Correct answer
Anti-shock position
It is commonly called the anti-shock position. Leg elevation may be considered when there is no evidence of trauma or injury and it does not worsen breathing or comfort; it is not an automatic manoeuvre for a crash casualty. Call 112 for signs of shock, follow instructions, keep the person warm and monitor breathing. Do not give food or drink. Avoid unnecessary movement of a casualty; airway and breathing take priority.
