Ep203 Hard vs Soft Cervical Collars


Listen Later

For many years, hard cervical collars were considered an essential part of spinal injury management. But why have many ambulance services and first aid organisations moved away from their routine use, and what should first aiders do instead?

In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between hard and soft cervical collars, why spinal management practices have changed, and the potential complications associated with rigid collars. You’ll also discover why manual support and minimising movement have become the focus of modern spinal care.
