The front passenger is stable and complaining of severe head and neck pain. You suspect that he has a potential spinal injury. The driver is unresponsive, in critical condition, and has gurgling respirations. You should extricate the passenger by which technique?

Respuesta :

Answer:

b) Move the patient out of the car as quickly as possible, in the direction of the long axis of the body.

Explanation:

The patient will be taken out of the car in long-axis direction so that no pressure on spine or any other body part is produced. C-spine precautions are taken in case of thoracic and lumbar level injury which is not evident in the patient. Gurgling respiration is low or medium pitched breathing which might be due to trauma and injuries. It does not have the potential to cause paralysis.
