Explanation

In the case when a spinal column fracture is suspected in the person involved in a traffic accident, the mobilization (movement) of the victim will be avoided until the arrival of the medical team. If there is a potential danger (danger of burning, asphyxiation, etc.) and the victim must be mobilized, this will be done with the immobilization of the spinal column. The victim will be laid on a hard surface (door, plank, stretcher) and fixed with ties passed over the thighs, pelvis and chest.

Attention! The mobilization of the victim will be done only in case of emergency.

You may suspect that a person presents a spinal column injury if:

  • there are signs of cranial trauma;
  • during the trauma a special force was exerted on the back or neck;
  • the victim complains of an intense pain of the neck or back;
  • the victim accuses weakness, numbness, paralysis or lack of control of the limbs, urinary bladder or stool;
  • the neck or back of the victim are twisted or have an abnormal position;
  • the person is unconscious and cannot describe the pain.

The correct answer is: C
