Oct 30, Matt Stranks one of our participants in last weekends Emergency Medical Responder recert course happened upon a pedestrian vs vehicle collision. He said it played out just like scenario in class.
Patient laying on a cold, wet road, open Tib/Fib fracture, unstable pelvis, no distal pulse, previous CVD history, EMS held up in traffic, only support LPS watching traffic, fire arrived, Matt remained lead, EMS quickly behind fire, transfer of care to EMS, load and go, off scene in 8 minutes. Matt remained a constant till the patient was in the ambulance. Full recovery expected.
We teach a very active, scenario based course, cut away clothing, casualty simulation, shifting vitals. This is what we our people for.

🚨 What if everything you thought you knew about spinal immobilization… was wrong? 🚨

You’ve got a trauma patient. Maybe they fell. Maybe it’s a rollover. You strap on a c-collar, secure the backboard, and feel like you’ve done everything right.

But what if that collar is hurting them more than helping?

What if the backboard is doing more harm than good?

An important review from NAEMSP just dropped, and it challenges decades of prehospital dogma.

📚 The Study:
Over 3,900 papers screened
115 studies included in analysis

Topics: spinal immobilization, motion restriction (SMR), delayed neurological injury, and associated harms

🧠 What They Found:
• Zero studies showed a clear clinical benefit to spinal immobilization or SMR
• 55 studies showed patient harm
• Immobilization may actually increase spinal movement during transport, especially at the c-spine to thorax junction
• Stronger evidence links hypoperfusion, not movement, to worsening neuro outcomes

⚠️ One study claimed a benefit, but had major flaws:
• Included patients with moderate disability as a "favorable outcome"
• Did not control for blood pressure
• Excluded patients with traumatic brain injury

✅ Takeaway:
• There’s no high-quality evidence that immobilization prevents spinal cord injury
• There’s plenty of evidence that it causes harm
• Focus should shift to resuscitation and perfusion, not strapping patients to boards

🛑 Bottom line: It’s time to rethink the collar and backboard. Use them only during extrication, not transport. And don’t let old habits cause new harm.

📖 This review from NAEMSP is a must-read for EMS medical directors, educators, and field providers alike.https://www.handtevy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Prehospital-Trauma-Compendium-Prehospital-Management-of-Spinal-Cord-Injuries-A-NAEMSP-Comprehensive-Review-and-Analysis-of-the-Literature.pdf

When someone knows you teach high level first aid and use loads of casualty simulation, they ask to borrow tarps but forget to tell their boy friend. Someone was shocked by the blood.
