Best Answer

Being on the right side helps to prevent aspiration - inhaling vomit into the lungs - because the stomach's exit is on the right side. This position also reduces pressure on the heart and allows the airway to remain clear for optimal breathing, helping to maintain the person's safety and well-being.

Why should you lie on your left side when unconscious and vomiting?

Lying on your left side helps prevent choking if you are unconscious and vomiting by allowing the vomit to flow out of your mouth, rather than block your airway. This position also helps reduce the risk of aspiration, where vomit enters your lungs.


Why do opium smokers lay on their side?

Opiates can cause emesis (vomiting). If a person were to lay on their back and vomit while unconscious, they could asphyxiate and die. Therefore, opium smokers (and often others who use opiates) lay on their side so that their vomit leaves their mouth.
