Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

You are working a football game and there is a head to head collision on the field. You run out to your player and he is complaining of neck pain and is having trouble moving his toes. You suspect a possible C-Spine injury. Walk me through the process of spineboarding him to be able to transport to the hospital.

Answer 1

Stabilize the player's neck and head by gently placing your hands on either side of their head and supporting it in a neutral position.

Call for medical assistance and bring a spineboard to the player's side.

Roll the player onto their side and slide the spineboard underneath them.

Carefully roll the player back onto the spineboard and position the headblocks to support their head and neck.

Secure the player using the straps provided on the spineboard.

Carefully transport the player to the hospital for further medical evaluation and treatment.
