I have not heard any of those actually. I'll do some research though. I would much rather know a safer way, thanks for the input

I recently got my basic about a month ago. I was taught to always immediately do C-Spine on unconcious trauma patients, and then to just ask if they fell if they were concious, so you can rule it out. Better safe then sorry.

I will definitely use those tips and let you know. I have a test on Tuesday covering Shock, Bleeding, Oxygen and Airway's, Trauma, and Soft Tissue Injuries.
