Prehospital cervical spinal immobilization after trauma.
S pinal immobilization of all trauma patients with a cervical spine or spinal cord injury or with a mechanism of injury having the potential to cause cervical spinal injury is recommended. • Triage of patients with potential spinal injury at the scene by trained and experienced emergency medical services personnel to determine the need for immobilization during transport is recommended. • Immob...
متن کاملPrehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the pediatric trauma patient.
PURPOSE Children requiring prehospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after traumatic injury have been shown to have poor survival. However, outcome of children still receiving CPR on-arrival by emergency medical service to the emergency department (ED) has not been demonstrated in a published clinical series. METHODS An 11-year retrospective analysis from a level I pediatric trauma cent...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of spinal immobilisation during prehospital extrication: a proof of concept study.
BACKGROUND In most countries, road traffic collisions (RTCs) are the main cause of cervical spine injuries. There are several techniques in use for spinal immobilisation during prehospital extrication; however, the evidence for these is currently poor. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to establish which technique provides the minimal deviation of the cervical spine from the neutral in...
متن کاملThe Knowledge of Emergency Medical Technicians of Prehospital Care Intensity Index of Spinal Cord Trauma in Ilam, Iran
Background: The knowledge of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) plays a crucial role in the prognosis of traumatic patients. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of pre-hospital care intensity index of spinal cord trauma amongst EMTs in Ilam, Iran. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted on 98 EMTs based on census sampling method. Data were collected using a research...
متن کاملConfirmation 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...
