 # Cervical spine is stabilized manually throughout the backboard process until the patient's head is taped to the backboard and all backboard straps are tight. Two to three passes of tape in an "X" over the forehead is required. No tape is to be placed over or under the patient's chin.
 # Padding should be placed under the patient's knees before strapping. A long rolled blanket provides modest padding while gently flattening the lumbar spine. Padding under the knees is required for a pelvic fracture.
-# Prior to strapping, dditional blankets shall be applied to fill "voids" around the legs or hips due to other injuries such as hip dislocations or femur fractures.
+# Prior to strapping, additional blankets shall be applied to fill "voids" around the legs or hips due to other injuries such as hip dislocations or femur fractures.
 # Diaper or foot hitches using cravats shall be used as needed to supplement the backboard straps for patients on steeper inclines or when injuries near the hip prevent the hip straps to be pulled snugly.
 # Arrange the suctioning device and oxygen on the patient's left side if possible. Patroller monitoring the airway should be ready to suction from that side. If patient vomits, patient should be rolled to the left.
 ===  Mid-Shaft Femur Fracture (Kendrick Traction Device) ===
 # Patients with a fractured femur mid-shaft shall be splinted with a Kendrick Traction Device (KTD).  Open fractures are to be bandaged prior to splinting.

 Call or go to the hospital emergency room, explain the situation, and find out if the patient has tested positive.  Get tested.  Document the exposure on the Incident Report form, and Daily Operations Log.

		+	Technicians by the National Ski Patrol. The following information serves as a supplement to the training and instruction
		+	received by the OEC Technician during the OEC Course. It includes patrol-specific protocol regarding the treatment of
		+	patients, which may differ from the protocol as taught in OEC. It also serves to clarify other items not fully covered in
		+	the Course. For further information, please contact the TBSP OEC Advisor.
