Stabilizing the cervical spine should be the next interventions.

One reasonable strategy is to observe the child closely for four to six hours after the injury, usually in the emergency department. If the child develops any other symptoms, a CT scan could be done at that time.

If head or spine injuries are suspected, then after the airway is opened, the cervical spine must be stabilized to prevent damage. Checking the mouth for debris is part of securing an airway. Administering oxygen and IV access occur after the C-spine is stabilized.

Stabilize the head and neck by placing your hands on both sides of the person's head. Keep the head in line with the spine and prevent movement. Wait for medical help.
