Is that plain enough for you, moron?

You win the prize for making the most insults in a post with few facts! First when you prone someone you do it with frames and padding under the body to maximize the physics increase something called West zone 2 which is optima ventilation and perfusion. Putting a knee on someones neck tends to screw up one of the important parameters of gas flow Secondly you crest restrictive pathology by proning on something hard. Like cement.

Do you have references for any of this?

Thirdly a true proned patient keeps the head in midline without deviation to the left or the right.

Look up google images and "proning". Every single picture has their head turned to the left or right.

Additionally what the cops did was indefensible. The trial will show the truth whatever that may be.

The police violated no department policy. Everything they did was by the book. He knew he was dying long before he was restrained. He was acting erratically from the very first. He had taken drugs, by his own testimony, up his anus earlier and was foaming at mouth as pointed out by police in the initial stop. Many drugs were in fact found in his system. He had COVID 19 which he admitted that he was still recovering from.

About the ONLY thing the police didn't do was try to administer CPR and we don't know why they didn't do that yet.

As someone who actually prones patients he is correct. It is done in special beds that allow the patient to be face down without the head turned and padding all the pressure points is key. Your ability to google does not equal medical education and experience.

References -- Any basic physiology textbook, if you are really interested, anesthesia guide to surgical procedures, prone position. West et al, Principles of pulmonary physiology and gas exchange. Prone is used in salvage ventilation when Pa/Fi gradient is <100:1 despite maximal ventilatory support. I am sure that the victim had a >200:1 Pa/Fi ratio because he was walking and talking -- you are really an idiot. Look up any basic medical education and prone view -- the head should be kept neutral for laminar airflow and to avoid blindness or skin breakdown. I am coming from the most prestigious of medical institutions, you refer to google. Cant really be much more pathetic than that The police violated basic tenants of being human. The cop knelt on the victims neck for longer than 2.5 minutes after he became unresponsive. The toxicology report does not support the police doing what they did. They did not do CPR because the failed to recognize that they had killed the victim You have NO IDEA what you are talking about... Have a good evening and good luck. By good luck, I mean F*ck off, moron. You are not worth the time to educate. As you cannot be educated.
