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 ...

Cervical Spine Motion During Extrication: A Pilot Study
Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2009 Spinal immobilization is one of the most commonly performed pre-hospital procedures. Little research has been done on the movement of the neck during immobilization and extrication. In this study we used a sophisticated infrared six-camera motion-capture
