Self-extrication and selective spinal immobilisation in a polytrauma patient with spinal injuries

, 2020
Methods of extrication and spinal immobilisation following trauma remains controversial. There is a consensus shift towards encouraging patients to self-extricate from vehicles after collisions and reduced use of hard cervical collars.

Complex Extrication and Crush Injury

Prehospital Emergency Care, 2010
An unusual motor vehicle collision case is presented involving a complex, prolonged extrication with crush injury. While crush injury and crush syndrome are often considered to be in the realm of disaster medicine and urban search and rescue, more typical single-patient or few-patient incidents such as industrial accidents and vehicular crashes can ...

Cervical Spine Motion during Extrication

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2013
It has been estimated that up to one-quarter of spinal cord injuries may be significantly worsened during extrication or early treatment after a motor vehicle accident.The purpose of this study was to analyze the planar motions of the head relative to the torso during extrication from an automobile in a laboratory setting.Video motion capture was used ...

Incidence and strategies for preventing sustained hypothermia of crash victims during prolonged vehicle extrication.

Injury, 2019
BACKGROUND Vehicle extrication of crash victims is a highly-demanding challenge, due to the frequently life-threatening injuries of entrapped occupants. In this phase, crash victims are often exposed to the outdoor-temperature, with the risk of sustained

Rapid extrication from a car wreck

Injury, 2004
Extrication of entrapped patients from car accidents takes time. To save time a new technique based on reversing the forces of the original crash by anchoring the rear of the vehicle and pulling the steering wheel and the front window pillars forward with chains is developed.
