The main purpose of placing a patient in cervical immobilization (c-spine) is to prevent any further injury to a possible spinal/head injury. In order to place a pt onto a stretcher while maintaining c-spine you have to first immobilize the pt onto a long board. This involves applying a c-collar, head blocks and then strapping them down to a long spine board thus immobilizing them from moving. Then the pt can be placed onto a stretcher and strapped down and then transported.

What is the difference between a stretcher or a gurney?
Stretcher is the original term used for a bed-like device to transport patients. The original stretchers composed only of two bars and fabric and was lifted by two or more people from each end. Then there came modernized stretchers with wheels for easy transport over pavements etc. A Gurney is essentially a stretcher but with legs that can fold horizontally so that it's easier to lift a patient and place him on it. In conclusion, a gurney is just a collapsible stretcher.
