Summary

The script outlines the proper use of a long or rigid board for immobilizing victims suspected of cervical or lumbar spine injuries. It emphasizes the importance of using five yellow straps and one red or differently colored strap for securing upper body parts. The process involves correctly positioning and adjusting straps, ensuring minimal movement during transportation, and securing a lateral head immobilizer for safe pre-hospital care.

Takeaways

• 🏥 A rigid board or long board is used to restrain victims suspected of having spinal injuries in the cervical or lumbar region.
• 🔍 It is recommended to have five yellow straps and one red or differently colored strap for distinguishing the upper limb restraint.
• 📏 The first step is to place two crossed straps at the height of the trunk on the long board, ensuring correct positioning.
• 🔗 Adjust the excess length of the straps in a zigzag pattern to avoid interference during the operation.
• 🔄 After the initial straps, the remaining ones should be passed under the rigid board in a transverse manner.
• 🔍 It's crucial to condition the excess straps in a zigzag pattern as demonstrated in the video.
• 🔐 Firefighters should use smaller straps to reduce the displacement amplitude of the equipment during vehicle movement.
• 🔴 After placing the five straps, the firefighter must place the red strap for fixing the upper limbs, as shown in the video.
• ➡️ The male end of the red strap should be adjusted from right to left as viewed from the board, allowing for adjustments during vehicle movement.
• 🔨 After securing the straps, the firefighter should place the base of the lateral head immobilizer to ensure it is well installed.
• 🛠️ Finally, the firefighter should place the remaining equipment, ensuring the equipment is ready for pre-hospital care.

How should the excess of the straps be adjusted?

The excess of the straps should be adjusted in a zigzag pattern to avoid interference during the operation.

What is the importance of using smaller pass-throughs for the straps?

Using smaller pass-throughs helps to reduce the amplitude of displacement of the equipment during the movement of the vehicle and transportation.

Which strap is used for immobilizing the upper limbs and how should it be adjusted?

The red strap is used for immobilizing the upper limbs, and it should be adjusted from right to left as viewed from the board.

What is the purpose of adjusting the male buckle of the strap from right to left?

This adjustment allows the firefighter to make new adjustments when necessary during the movement of the vehicle.

What is the next step after placing the five straps?

After placing the five straps, the firefighter should place the red strap for the fixation of the upper limbs.

What is the importance of placing the base of the lateral head immobilizer?

It is important to fix all the straps with the aim of keeping the base well installed.

What should be done after fixing the base of the lateral head immobilizer?

After fixing the base, the firefighter should place the remaining equipment, ensuring that the equipment is ready for pre-hospital care.

What is the final step in preparing the equipment for use in pre-hospital care?

The final step is to ensure that all the equipment is in place and ready for use in pre-hospital care.
