Thanks for your interest. This is three-point C-spine immobilisation: two blocks either side of the head and securing tape going over the forehead and chin. It trauma scenarios, this should be done by paramedics at the scene using blocks designed for the purpose. Someone should always be securing the head as three-point immobilisation is put in place.
Ideally, purpose-built 3-point cervical spine immobilisation would be used. This should be secured in place at the scene by the first responders. However, the principle is shown here correct: the head is secured on either side with blocks, with straps or tape across the top.
the nurse should maintain C Spine while the clinician assesses breathing. Manual C spine is fine. All that taping etc........ what is happening to the breathing???
Im a medical student from Iran
