Podcast #2 - Selective Spinal Immobilization
March 2nd, 2007Have you ever been criticized for not immobilizing an asymptomatic trauma patient, or felt frustrated when a carefully immobilized trauma patient had his collar rapidly removed and was taken off the backboard shortly after arrival by the emergency physician without any X rays being ordered? If the answer to this question is yes, or if you would just like to know more about an important and controversial topic in trauma care, then this podcast is for you. Here I discuss the evidence for selective prehospital spinal immobilization and describe the necessary elements of such a protocol.
