Patients involved in accidents may be able to move themselves away from the scene if they are able to walk. However, if they cannot move, first responders should be able to identify head or spinal injuries and understand how to safely move these patients. It is also important to identify when others require transportation or help. Patients may be able to remove themselves, ambulatory, from an accident scene depending on the circumstances surrounding the injury. If they are unable to remove themselves, non-ambulatory, patrollers need to be able to recognize potential head or spinal injuries as well as the special considerations for moving these patients. It is also important to recognize when others will need transportation or assistance.
