Trauma multidisciplinary QI project: evaluation of cervical spine clearance, collar selection, and skin care
Abstract
Purpose:
To evaluate data regarding cervical collars and develop guidelines related to product selection, cervical spine clearance, and skin care.
Methods:
Production selection and skin care were evaluated by multidisciplinary teams review of QI data.
Results:
The multidisciplinary teams identified a c-spine clearance algorithm, a methodology for continuous skin evaluation, and a new policy for skin care under the c-collar.
Conclusions:
Focused attention to problems surrounding cervical spine immobilization can decrease patient complications.
