A 45-year-old male patient involved in a high-speed motor vehicle collision presents with suspected spinal injuries. Before initiating transport, what is the most crucial step in preparing this patient for transport?
Securing cervical spine immobilization is essential to prevent further injury to the spine during transport. This involves using a cervical collar and appropriate immobilization techniques to maintain spinal alignment. Administering pain management or oxygen, while also important, do not address the critical need to protect the spinal column from additional injury.
