5-20. INTRODUCTION

A patient who has or who may have a spinal cord injury must be moved carefully. He must be moved without causing him further injury, pain, or discomfort. Included in this section is information on the cervical collar and three patient-carrying devices: the Kendrick extrication device (KED), the short spine board, the long spine board, and the scoop stretcher.
