Securing the patient in the Head Immobilizer:
Position the patient on the backboard so that their head is positioned in the middle of the base plate. Secure the patient on the backboard with restraining straps. Place the head blocks against each side of the patients head. When possible align the holes in the head blocks with the patient's ears so you can hear the patient. Loop each end of the forehead/chin straps through the D rings. Tighten as needed.
