Complication of hard cervical collars in multi-trauma patients

S C Liew et al. Aust N Z J Surg. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

All multi-trauma patients with suspected cervical spine injury should have their cervical spine protected while other life-threatening injuries are being managed. The application of a hard cervical collar is an acceptable method of temporarily immobilizing the cervical spine. Two cases of significant occipital pressure ulceration associated with the use of hard cervical collar are presented.
