Does anyone know of any flight service that
packages and transports a patient using only a scoop stretcher
(no backboard or transport board)? I am dealing with a service
that uses these devices by themselves, even when transferring a patient with a
known spinal injury. This contradicts everything I know about scoop
stretchers and their intended use.
If anyone can point me toward documentation proving
or disproving the use of scoop stretchers by themselves as a spinal
immobilization device, I would be very grateful.
