Iowa Spinal Immobilization

[hitman196]

So just moving to Iowa from New York and starting an EMT class through my High School.
I was just wondering if anyone knew the Spinal Immobilization protocols so I don't at least walk into my class with the wrong rules. I have tried looking online but really couldn't find the answer.

They'll teach you the current protocol.

If you're going to be starting an EMT class, you don't have to know anything about spinal immobilization. They will teach you everything that you need to know about spinal immobilization.

To answer your question:

These are the statewide protocols for EMS in the state of Iowa. Looking through them, I didn't see anything specific about spine boards but did see something about c-collars in the trauma section.

Okay well thanks a lot guys and your right I actually didn't think about the fact that would teach me it.
