“…Additionally, these devices have been shown to directly compromise respiration. Ay et al 20 demonstrated statistically significant decreases in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ) and forced vital capacity with both the KED and long spinal backboard. Another study showed a 15% decrease in FEV 1 with a cervical collar and backboard, and noted that respiratory restriction was more pronounced with age.…”

In an effort to produce best-practice guidelines for spine immobilization in the austere environment, the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel charged with the development of evidence-based guidelines for management of the injured or potentially injured spine in an austere (dangerous or compromised) environment. Recommendations are made regarding several factors related to spinal immobilization. These recommendations are graded based on the quality of supporting evidence and balance between the benefits and risks or burdens for each factor according to the methodology stipulated by the American College of Chest Physicians. A treatment algorithm based on the guidelines is presented.

“…There have been several studies on the effects of spinal immobilization on pulmonary function, and these studies have shown that forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) and forced vital capacity (FVC) levels significantly decreased at the 5 th and 30 th minutes (18)(19)(20). In our study, secondary indicators of pulmonary function, breath rate, and oxygen saturation were also assessed, and it was shown that they were not affected by spinal immobilization.…”

“…In a study performed by Ay et al, which used spirometry to analyze the effect of neck spine immobilization on pulmonary function in healthy individuals, the authors suggested that the use of a neck collar would cause a significant decrease in spirometry parameters in patients (13). In another study, Bauer et al evaluated the effect of neck collar fixation on spirometry parameters and stated that using a neck collar caused a significant decrease in the rate of FVC, FEV1 and FEF25 - 75 (14).…”

BackgroundAccording to the guidelines for treatment of multiple trauma patients, immobilization of the neck and neck collar fixation are essential. However, following neck collar fixation patients usually experience dyspnea. Some studies have found that neck collar fixation can lead to decreased pulmonary volumes, yet there have been no studies on the effect of neck collar fixation on patient ventilation.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of neck collar fixation on ventilation in multiple trauma patients.MethodsThis study was a descriptive-analytical study, which was performed in the emergency department of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences on multiple trauma patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 15. The effect of neck collar fixation on ventilation in the study participants was examined with the use of capnography.ResultsThis study involved 163 multiple trauma patients. Of these, 65% were male. The mean of end tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) of the patients without neck collars was 34.62 ± 4.46 and the mean ETCO2 of the patients with neck collars was 34.21 ± 2.31. There was no significant difference between the means of ETCO2, before and after removing the neck collar, among the studied patients (P = 0.196).ConclusionsAccording to the results of our study, neck collar fixation has no effect on ventilation in multiple trauma patients.
