The long board does make a difference with CPR. As someone who has done compressions with and without the LSB on the gurney, you can feel the difference, mainly in smaller patients IMO.
I have a feeling this is a trauma per protocol situation. You would be amazed how many simple fall-from-standing patients get back boarded because they are a "trauma".
By simple I mean people who just fell down. No boucing off of dressers or concrete steps or whatever.
Ok I'm editing this cause it posted twice. I have no idea why. lol
