The Australian Resus Council did a bit of work with this and published the following in 2009: http://www.resus.org.au/policy/guidelines/section_9/guideline-9-1-5july2009.pdf specifically: "Some agenicies maintain that rescuers maintain victims in a sitting position and avoid lying them flat for 30 minutes. There is NO EVIDENCE to support this practice as a treatment for suspension trauma and it may be harmful. Care of the airway takes precidence over any injury." This is what is now taught on first aid and rope access courses. Richard
