Hard cervical collar was applied with use of hard board with body strapping as for immobilization of the body. Full blast Oxygen given via mask delivered. Thick application of bandage was applied onto Matt's head as to stop bleeding. Initial IV access was started by administering Haemacele of 1000mls.
