Once access to the passenger compartment has been
gained, manually stabilise the casualty's cervical spine. This
procedure can be performed by the operator approaching
from the side of the passenger compartment (Figure 51), or
by another operator entering from the opposite side (Figure
52) or from the back of the passenger compartment, if
accessible.
