Treating pediatric patients poses unique challenges for emergency responders. While spinal injuries in children are rare, they can be life-threatening and require specialized child immobilizer equipment. The danger of a pediatric spinal injury is worsened when the patient is panicking and cannot follow instructions to stay still while first responders administer care and immobilize the spine.

Using the right equipment can make all the difference when pediatric spinal immobilization is required.
