Splinting swollen extremities can be done quickly and easily on scene, and can help prevent further damage to the affected area during transport. ABCs with spinal precautions and a rapid trauma exam are important assessments that should be performed on scene to ensure patient stability and identify any life-threatening injuries. Immobilization may also be necessary if there is suspicion of a cervical or spinal injury.
