You do NOT place the patient on her left side in maternal arrest. That is outdated teaching. The AHA eliminated this recommendation in 2010 and the ERC now recommends uterine displacement instead of supine positioning. Uterine displacement is enough to relieve the pressure on the aorta. The single biggest hindrance to survival in maternal arrest is the added fetal circulation being difficult to overcome with manual compressions, and lateral compressions are not effective. I like your content and support your goals, but I hope you'll consider taking this down and correcting it. If you DM me I'll be happy to send you the specific references.
