Unless you're talking about having a c-collar on and no backboad, nothing.

Creative spinal techniques?

[DwayneEMTP]

Hmmm...I might be able to hit the easy stuff...

C-collar without necessary stabilization (blocks, board) Also back is bent. Not sure why the head and feet are both elevated unless that is a position of comfort, though it would be contraindicated for spinal stabilization (unless there are ways I don't know of...like most things).

No obvious injuries noticeable from the pic...but...guessing again...secondary to a blast injury, would IVs (possible internal bleeding?) and oxygen be indicated? Perhaps she should be stripped to check for shrapnel injuries as well?

Not sure...but those are my thoughts.....

I SO want a pair of those pants!!

They'd keep you safe while on the highway, while at the same time providing a target for those drunks that always wanna stear right where they are looking.

I think the pants need a lightbar and integrated radio before they are up to emtcity standards.

Don't forget the GPS.

[cotjockey]

Well...I have to agree about the c-spine technique, also it looks like the cot isn't covered completely with a sheet or blanket...up at the head, it looks like she is lying on the bare plastic. Her clothes are awfully clean looking considering she was involved in an explosion...and she's still wearing her shoes, if they didn't come off in the blast, I would think flip-flops would have fallen off by now.

Clearly they have misidentified the species. That is a human not a turkey. :roll: Friggin EMT's.
