Horizontal slide creates less cervical motion when centering an injured patient on a spine board
DN DuBose, LA Zdziarski, N Scott, B Conrad… - The Journal of …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background A patient with a suspected cervical spine injury may be at risk for secondary
neurologic injury when initially placed and repositioned to the center of the spine board.
Objectives We sought to determine which centering adjustment best limits cervical spine
movement and minimizes the chance for secondary injury. Methods Using five lightly
embalmed cadaveric specimens with a created global instability at C5–C6, motion sensors
were anchored to the anterior surface of the vertebral bodies. Three repositioning methods …
