The Importance of C-Spine Precaution
I think we overemphasize the importance of C-spine precaution often at the expense of airway in particular. My perspective is if you have a patient who's more comfortable sitting up, particularly if you have concerns around airway, let that happen. You may need to lie them flat for when it comes time to intubate or do something else. But if the position of comfort is upright, I think you should maintain that.
