If a patient has a neck injury, EMS personnel will first ensure the scene is safe and then assess the patient's condition. They will stabilize the neck using a cervical collar to minimize movement and prevent further injury. The patient will be carefully moved onto a backboard or stretcher while maintaining spinal alignment, and vital signs will be monitored. Finally, they will transport the patient to an appropriate medical facility for further evaluation and treatment.

If you have an unconscious patient who does not have a possibility of spinal injury and who is breathing adequately what is the best position for transporting the patient?
Hi. I would transport the patient in the lateral position, making sure they are facing you should you need to suction their airway or perform other procedures. In regards to airway and breathing, it all depends on whether the patient is maintaining their own airway or not. A patient can quickly obstruct their airway with their tongue, or can slowly aspirate secretions or vomits down their trachea should they be left in the supine position.
