Treatment
1. Have person lie down or sit in position of easiest breathing.
2. Splint the flail area with a small pillow or thick padding loosely bandaged in place (but not completely around the chest).
3. Position the victim lying on the injured side to give more support to the area.
*If padding is not available to splint the flail area, support it with pressure from your hand. Monitor the victim until help arrives.
