I was messing about with my mate at the top of the hill, and I may have pushed him down backwards. Now he has an issue with his spine, but nothing too serious I think. Now I know what to do if anything like this happens again.

Does landing on your neck count when you land on your neck on the trampoline that’s what I did and I got the wind knocked out of me but I did not have to go to the hospital or anything but it still hurts a little

[afsarrayani]

Please demonstrate how to turn facedown to face up

[SaintYaronimo]

What if the casualty's head is not straight like in this video, if their head fell to the left or right? What if the causality is on their stomach?

I have questions if the person has spinal injury but he unconscious how can make CPR

[Rob-pgzx]

If someone goes into cardiac arrest, and you know they've injured their neck and spine... Would you need someone to try and keep their head still or do a jaw thrust manoeuvre whilst giving them rescue breaths and chest compressions? Or would you just discard trying to maintain their c-spine and focus on CPR only?

[BARCH-wpvl]

What if he is in a vehicle accident and suspect internal blessing 🤔

[adriancastaneda]

what will you do if the patient who has a spinal injury bacome breathless or pulseless.. can you do cpr despite of the injury he/she has..

[Rob-pgzx]

In the video, the patient is in a neutral body position (flat, straight and facing upwards). But what if their head was slightly tilted to the side? Would you keep it tilted to the side or re allign?

[watermelon-]

what happens if the person is hit on their back hard and falls on their tummy? do we keep them facing the ground?

[kingtonlam]

What if the injured person is in a dangerous area and you have to move him/her away alone, how do you do that? How do you safely move the injured person and still keep his/her head stable?

[arthurpieters]

How do i get I.e. a surfer out of the water without risk of making the injury worse?
