Introduction Rigid cervical spine following trauma immobilization is recommended to reduce
neurological disability and provide spinal stability. Soft collars have been proposed as a …

Objective In trauma patients with potential cervical spine injury, immobilisation with a rigid
cervical collar is widely recommended to prevent a secondary spinal cord injury. There is a …

Background Cervical collars are used as standard care for neck immobilisation after cervical
spine injury. Although evidence for the most effective type of collar is lacking, there is …

Objective Blunt trauma patients with potential cervical spine injury are traditionally
immobilised in rigid collars. Recently, this has been challenged. The present study's …

The cervical collar has been routinely used for trauma patients for more than 30 years and is
a hallmark of state-of-the-art prehospital trauma care. However, the existing evidence for this …

Introduction The consequences of spinal injury as a result of trauma can be devastating.
Spinal immobilisation using hard trauma boards and rigid cervical collars has traditionally …

BACKGROUND Many studies have compared the restriction of motion that immobilization
collars provide to the injured victim. No previous investigation has assessed the amount of …

Background: The cervical collar has been used as a common device for the initial
stabilization of the cervical spine. Although many cervical collars are commercially available …

Background All trauma patients with a cervical spinal column injury or with a mechanism of
injury with the potential to cause cervical spinal injury should be immobilised until a spinal …

Objective. Prehospital cervical spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are rare but potentially
catastrophic. Although spinal immobilization is resource-intensive, emergency medical …
