Confirmation of suboptimal protocols in spinal immobilisation?
BACKGROUND Spinal immobilisation during extrication of patients in road traffic collisions is routinely used despite the lack of evidence for this practice. In a previous proof of concept study (n=1), we recorded up to four times more cervical spine movement during extrication using conventional techniques than self-controlled extrication. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to establis...

متن کاملComparison of a long spinal board and vacuum mattress for spinal immobilisation.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to compare the stability and comfort afforded by the long spinal board (backboard) and the vacuum mattress. METHODS Nine volunteers wearing standardised clothing and rigid neck collars were secured on to a backboard and vacuum mattress using a standard strapping arrangement. An operating department table was used to tilt the volunteers from 45 degrees head u...
متن کاملOn message recognition protocols: recoverability and explicit confirmation
We look at message recognition protocols (MRPs) and prove that there is a oneto-one correspondence between stateless non-interactive MRPs and digital signature schemes. Next, we examine the Jane Doe protocol and note its inability to recover in case of a certain adversarial disruption. We propose a variant of this protocol which is equipped with a resynchronization technique that allows users t...
متن کاملThe role of routine spinal imaging and immobilisation in asymptomatic patients after gunshot wounds.
BACKGROUND The role of routine dedicated spinal imaging and immobilisation following gunshot wounds (GSW) to the head, neck or torso has been debated. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of spinal column injury requiring stabilisation in evaluable patients following gunshot injury. METHODS A retrospective study from of a Level I trauma centre from January 1995 to December...
