Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022 Background Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs), particularly those associated with entrapment, are a common cause of major trauma. Current extrication methods are focused on spinal movement minimisation and mitigation, but for many patients self-extrication ...
