Also, the first aid attendant (not the helper) should ALWAYS take c-spine while the patient is being log rolled.
-
The helper has his arms floating in the air while holding c-spine... His elbows should be on the ground or on his knees.
-
The bystander let go of c-spine twice when the instructor was applying the tape
-
would you really need goggles? all your doing is c-spine
-
What do you do if your patient is found already in a sitting position?? Not in a chair but sitting on the floor indian style
-

It is good practice to wear safety glasses on all calls. The risk of being splashed with blood or vomit at any time is real, and the mucus membranes around your eyes can easily transmit any pathogens into your blood stream. I witnessed a paramedic being exposed in this manner when a patient spit in his eyes as he was placing the drunk (go figure!) patient in c-spine!!

If I have access behind the patient, I might place the board behind him, straighten out his legs (if there are no contraindications for doing that) lay him down and slide him up into position. If you have only side access (if the pt. was resting against a wall) I have slid the end of the board under his bottom and rotated him 90 degrees, and then proceed as I did with the other patient. You could also use the KED Sled device (the safest way) especially if he cannot uncross his legs.

i dont know about a few things. By simply putting the arms under the spider straps you can avoid tying up the patients wrists(many patients may be frightened by that.) Also after you secure the straps under the chin you would immediately move to the straps for the ankles and then go back and secure the rest. Besides that, a great video.

@woohoofillup Per National Registry, the head must be completely secured prior to strapping the legs down. In reality, we would only tie a patient's hands if they were unresponsive or uncooperative, so frightening the patient would not be an issue. The problem with placing the arms under the spider straps is that if you need to access them to take vital signs, then you would have to release the straps, possibly compromising c-spine precautions.
