I'm confused on the order of the straps. On the NREMT skills sheet, the order is torso, head, legs, arms. I was taught that the head is always last. Also in doing research on this I am now confused on how to properly secure the arms. I've read that people who secure the arms with the torso have failed.
You will move the patient around too much if you try to perfectly align the backboard before they are rolled over. You use what's called an up and over maneuver. The up and over movement aligns the patient properly.
Justin Rhone But specifically for the spinal immobilization station for national testing, I don’t believe you have to assess for DCAPBTLS. That would be for the trauma assessment.
Thank you for showing me how to accomplish this task.
If the neck collar is not available, can I splint with wood, such as a broken thigh?

I was told you shouldnt take your hand off the patients shoulder and only use your hand from the hip or its a critical fail?
Why was the backboard placed slightly above the patient before the log roll?
