The guide outlines key methods for applying rigid, inflatable, and improvised splints while emphasizing safety, patient comfort, and monitoring for complications. The recommendations are based on clinical guidelines, trauma care protocols, and expert consensus, making them accessible and actionable for first responders, expedition members, and laypersons in emergency settings.

Key words: Immobilization, Splinting Techniques, First Aid, Emergency Response, Non-Medical Professionals, Fracture Stabilization, Trauma Care
