A data-driven algorithm to support the clinical decision-making of patient extrication following a road traffic collision

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

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.

Maximum movement and cumulative movement (travel) to inform our understanding of secondary spinal cord injury and its application to collar use in self-extrication

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background Motor vehicle collisions remain a common cause of spinal cord injury. Biomechanical studies of spinal movement often lack “real world” context and applicability.
