You've identified a possible neck or spinal injury.
The patient has cervical neck pain.
They don't wanna move.
Everyone is looking at the collar, but here's the question.
Is the collar the most important part of spinal care? The answer is no.
The person holding the head is.
This episode, we're looking at the application of a soft cervical collar.
Before the collar is even applied, remember the priorities in spinal management.
D, dangers, ensure the scene is safe.
Manage the airway breathing circulation, and then return the head to neutral position if possible, using manual traction, using your hands.
But never force movement.
If resistance is felt, pain increases, or the patient cannot tolerate the movement, stop immediately.
One first aid responder should maintain manual support of the patient's head throughout the entire procedure.
This person becomes the team leader for any movement and coordinates every action.
If the patient needs to move, the head moves first and the body follows.
