When considering proper patient packaging, is the patient’s medical condition the only priority?

Wednesday, June 9, 2010

No. The rescuer should also consider the size and configuration of the confined space (i.e., once packaged, will the patient and packaging fit through the opening?) as well as the rescue techniques to be used, the atmosphere inside the space and the exposure to hazards.
