If an athlete with a spine injury stops breathing, it's crucial to stabilize their spine while also ensuring their airway is clear. Carefully place them in a supine position (on their back) if it’s safe to do so, using a log-roll technique to minimize movement of the spine. If necessary, initiate CPR while monitoring the airway, and call for emergency medical assistance immediately. Avoid unnecessary movement to prevent further injury.
