If you are the only one on the scene, be aware anything you do should minimize movement of the spine (e.g. jaw thrust to open airway, log roll body as a unit, etc). If someone is there with you, 1 person should stabilize the neck immediately before anything is done to the patient. The person stabilizing the head/neck area should stay in position until full stabilization on the backboard is achieved.
