Consensus Recommendations on the Prehospital Care of the Injured Athlete With a Suspected Catastrophic Cervical Spine Injury

Abstract: Introduction Sports participation is among the leading causes of catastrophic cervical spine injury (CSI) in the United States. Appropriate prehospital care for athletes with suspected CSIs should be available at all levels of sport. The goal of this project was to develop a set of best-practice recommendations appropriate for athletic trainers, emergency responders, sports medicine and emergency physicians, and others engaged in c… Show more

“…Finally, a notable paradigm shift in emergency medicine over the past decade has been to forego the routine use of a rigid spine board for immobilization and transport in suspected spine injury (33,34). Accordingly, professional associations and state EMS jurisdictions are allowing for alternative methods for controlling spinal motion during emergency management or discouraging use of a rigid spine board for emergency transport altogether (14,35). Because of the corresponding time frame for these changes, our questionnaire sought to determine AA’s knowledge of the method used for the emergency transportation of suspected cervical spine injuries.…”

“…These data were collected before the release of a 2020 consensus document that involved a systematic review and a Delphi panel–based model for generating 45 new recommendations on the care of the spine-injured athlete (14). Although the findings in this paper provide a starting point for the understanding of the adoption and implementation of a SCIM policy, future research should aim to evaluate the incorporation of the newer recommendations into high school SCIM policies.…”

“…For a player with suspected cervical spine injury, equipment should be removed by personnel trained to do so to minimize cervical spine movement (Fig. 2) [9]. With advances in helmet, facemask, chin strap fasteners, and shoulder pad materials, it is imperative that the team medical staff and ERT stay current on available equipment removal tools and techniques.…”

“…Previous research has examined the use of several transfer procedures on cervical spine motion, including the 6-to-8-person lift or log-roll technique (Fig. 7) [9]. For exertional heat stroke (rectal temperature above 104° and symptoms of central nervous system dysfunction), the ERT must be prepared to quickly transfer an athlete from the field to an area for cold water immersion, as rapid whole-body cooling is essential for survival.…”
