A<unk>  is primarily indicated for judicious use to transport people who may have had a spinal injury, usually due to the mechanism of injury, and the attending team are not able to rule out a spinal injury. The person should be transferred from the<unk>  to a hospital bed as soon as possible. For comfort and safety reasons, it is recommended to transfer the person to a vacuum mattress instead, in which case a scoop stretcher or long spine<unk>  is just used for the transfer. Despite its history of use, there is no evidence that backboards immobilize the spine, nor do they improve the person's outcomes.
