Question

What position should you place patients with neurogenic shock?

Accepted Answer

With these patients, slight elevation of the foot end spine board may help bring the blood that is pooling in the vessels of the legs to the vital organs. Placing the patient's arms across his or her chest without moving the spine will also return some pooled blood.
