A data-driven algorithm to support the clinical decision-making of patient extrication following a road traffic collision [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2023 Background Some patients involved in a road traffic collision (RTC) are physically entrapped and extrication is required to provide critical interventions. This can be performed either in an expedited way, or in a more controlled manner. In this study we

A Delphi study of rescue and clinical subject matter experts on the extrication of patients following a motor vehicle collision [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022 Background Approximately 1.3 million people die each year globally as a direct result of motor vehicle collisions (MVCs). Following an MVC some patients will remain trapped in their vehicle; these patients have worse outcomes and may require extrication.

The role of cervical collars and verbal instructions in minimising spinal movement during self-extrication following a motor vehicle collision - a biomechanical study using healthy volunteers [PDF]
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021 Background Motor vehicle collisions account for 1.3 million deaths and 50 million serious injuries worldwide each year. However, the majority of people involved in such incidents are uninjured or have injuries which do not prevent them exiting the ...
