This practice has been adopted by the American College of Surgeons, which recommends immediate neck immobilization for all trauma patients, since all are considered to be at risk of cervical spine injury.3 However, the evidence behind this practice originated from expert and consensus opinion after minimal studies performed in hospital-based spinal units at a time when EMS and trauma systems were in their infancy.4-6, While efficacy of cervical spine immobilization has never been examined in actual trauma patients, there remains a limited number of studies examining spine movement in a simulated environment.

These guidelines are generally in line with the ACS policy statements as well as the growing body of pre-hospital literature and management guidelines for cervical spine injuries, as they all state that collars are effective in limiting motion of the cervical spine and should therefore be used until the patient is properly assessed and the cervical spine is cleared. Hoffman JR, Mower WR, Wolfson AB, et al.
