Oftentimes a patient will be either not be centered on the board's long axis or they will be too high/low and will need to be repositioned. Patient repositioning on a longboard should be completed with as little lateral movement as possible to avoid exacerbation of any potential spinal injures. When repositioning the patient, a minimum of two rescuers is needed (if spinal precautions are in place, a third rescuer should be used to manually stabilize the head).","Page keywords":"supine patient, patient movement, trauma","Page language":"en","Page parent":"NREMT Skillset","Page root":"NREMT Skillset","Page title":"NREMT Skillset/Patient Repositioning on a Longboard","Page views":"151","Page year":"Wednesday, 01-Jan-20 00:00:00 UTC","SELF acting roles":"EMR, emergency medical responder, EMT, emergency medical technician, paramedic","SELF body systems":"skeletal system, nervous system","SELF pathologies":"broken spine (potential)","Modification date":"Friday, 18-Sep-26 12:29:01 UTC"}
