spine board
Preparation
Assess the scene for safety.
Gather all necessary equipment (spine board, straps, head immobilization device, etc.).
Ensure the area is clear for safe patient transfer.
Patient Assessment
Evaluate the patient's condition (consciousness, breathing, circulation).
Check for any visible injuries, especially to the spine and neck.
Stabilize the head and neck if spinal injury is suspected.
Positioning the Spine Board
Position the spine board next to the patient.
Ensure the board is oriented correctly (with the head end at the patient's head).
Prepare to log-roll the patient onto the spine board if necessary.
Loading the Patient
Communicate clearly with team members about the lifting process.
Log-roll the patient onto the spine board while maintaining spinal alignment.
Ensure the patient is centered on the board.
Securing the Patient
Use straps to secure the patient's torso, legs, and head.
Check that the straps are snug but not too tight to restrict circulation.
Ensure the head immobilization device is properly positioned.
Transporting the Patient
Coordinate with team members for a safe lift and transport.
Move the patient cautiously to avoid further injury.
Monitor the patient’s condition during transport.
Post-Transport Care
Reassess the patient's condition upon arrival at the destination.
Ensure the spine board is removed properly, maintaining spinal alignment.
Document the procedure and any relevant findings.
