Why Do We Put Cervical Collars On Conscious Trauma Patients?

Goes against what I have been taught but worth thinking about. There's also a lot more recent stuff about this out there.

All the current studies I've read show little cause to and quite a bit of harm caused by hard collars in the conscious Pt. Current ambulance guidelines still indicate it for a lot of trauma settings but I believe this is changing soon.

I believe the bloke who ripped his gear on fang the other day would have received one due to hitting the ground from reasonable way up

Interesting article. Many years ago I injured myself and was collared and placed on a back board. I spent way too long on the backboard and it hurt more than the crash...

Often in the transport setting the best way to do no harm is to do nothing besides transportation. But some people do struggle with the idea of doing nothing and collars are an easy way to make you feel like you've done something for a patient. Lots of interventions/treatments have intuitive and logical assumptions behind them but are subsequently shown to have minimal/no positive effect or in fact cause harm (oxygen therapy when you don't need it, steroids in spinal injury, everything in ICU ;-)
