Effect of cervical collars on intracranial pressure in patients with head neurotrauma
Trauma patients are at high risk of cervical and associated injuries. The standard protocol includes immobilization of the cervical spine in a polytrauma as it will help to prevent spinal injuries in the prehospital settings. Hard cervical collar (or alternatives) is routinely used until the cervical spine clearance is obtained . In patients with traumatic brain injury avoiding any kind of mane...
متن کاملSolving the problem of pressure ulcers resulting from cervical collars.
Cervical orthotic devices (cervical collars) are integral to the treatment of patients with suspected or confirmed fracture of the cervical spine. Pressure ulcers can develop under the cervical collar on the occipital protuberance and on the chin due to both prolonged immobilization and the collar construction. A multidisciplinary team at a Northwest Ohio trauma center led an investigation of t...
متن کاملComparison of Cervical Range-of-Motion Restriction and Craniofacial Tissue-Interface Pressure With 2 Adjustable and 2 Standard Cervical Collars.
STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare and contrast the restrictiveness and tissue-interface pressure (TIP) characteristics of 2 standard and 2 adjustable cervical collars. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA This study compared the restrictiveness and TIP of 4 commercially available cervical collars (2 standard and 2 adjustable). Adjustable collars o...
متن کاملA multidisciplinary approach to occipital pressure ulcers related to cervical collars.
Pressure ulcers related to cervical collars are a common difficult-to-manage complication of cervical immobilization in the trauma patient. After many cases of occipital pressure ulcers occurred at our institution, a multidisciplinary task force was formed to look at this issue. The group was to identify causes for this problem and develop a plan to decrease the occurrence of pressure ulcers re...
متن کاملRelationship between intracranial pressure and cervical lymphatic pressure and flow rates in sheep.
Previous reports from our group demonstrated that about one-half of the total volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) removed from the cranial vault in sheep is transported into extracranial lymphatics, especially cervical lymphatic vessels in the neck. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that an elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) would increase cervical lymphatic pressure and lymph flow ...
