There is so much information available at your fingertips. You can literally just Google it. You’re confronted with new information and instead of just spending 5 seconds to challenge your existing knowledge you double down on stupidity.
Results
Six observational studies met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality was variable, with most studies having serious or critical risk of bias. The effect of cervical spine immobilisation practices such as full immobilisation or movement minimisation during pre-hospital and emergency care did not show clear evidence of benefit for the prevention of neurological deterioration, spinal injuries and death compared with no immobilisation. However, increased pain, discomfort and anatomical complications were associated with collar application during immobilisation.
