Can a rescuer or simulated patient accurately assess motion during cervical spine stabilization practice sessions? (1/2)
CONTEXT: Health care providers must be prepared to manage all potential spine injuries as if they are unstable. Therefore, most sport teams devote resources to training for sideline cervical spine (C-spine) emergencies. OBJECTIVE: To determine (1) how accurately rescuers and simulated patients can assess motion during C-spine stabilization practice and (2) whether providing performance feedback to rescuers influences their choice of stabilization technique. DESIGN: Crossover study. SETTING: Training studio. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Athletic trainers, athletic therapists, and physiotherapists experienced at managing suspected C-spine injuries. INTERVENTION(S): Twelve lead rescuers (at the patient's head) performed both the head-squeeze and trap-squeeze C-spine stabilization maneuvers during 4 test scenarios: lift-and-slide and log-roll placement on a spine board and confused patient trying to sit up or rotate the head. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Interrater reliability between rescuer and simulated patient quality scores for subjective evaluation of C-spine stabilization during trials (O = best, 10 = worst), correlation between rescuers' quality scores and objective measures of motion with inertial measurement units, and frequency of change in preference for the head-squeeze versus trap-squeeze maneuver. RESULTS: Although the weighted kappa value for interrater reliability was acceptable (0.71-0.74), scores varied by 2 points or more between rescuers and simulated patients for approximately 10% to 15% of trials. Rescuers' scores correlated with objective measures, but variability was large: 38% of trials scored as 0 or 1 by the rescuer involved more than 10 degrees of motion in at least 1 direction. Feedback did not affect the preference for the lift-and-slide placement. For the log-roll placement, 6 of 8 participants who preferred the head squeeze at baseline preferred the trap squeeze after feedback. For the confused patient, 5 of 5 participants initially preferred the head squeeze but preferred the trap squeeze after feedback. CONCLUSIONS: Rescuers and simulated patients could not adequately assess performance during C-spine stabilization maneuvers without objective measures. Providing immediate feedback in this context is a promising tool for changing behavior preferences and improving training.

(+info)A stretcher is not a medical condition but rather a medical device used for carrying or moving injured, sick, or unconscious individuals. It is a piece of medical equipment that provides support to the patient during transport. A stretcher can be made of various materials such as wood, metal, or plastic and may have canvas, nylon, or other fabric stretched over it to form a flat surface. Some stretchers are designed to be folded or collapsed for easy storage and transportation.
Stretchers come in different types and designs, including:
1. Basic stretcher: A simple and lightweight device used for short-distance transports within a hospital or clinic.
2. Ferno stretcher: A versatile and sturdy stretcher with adjustable features that can be used for various patient handling situations.
3. Scoop stretcher: A flexible and curved stretcher designed to slide under a patient who is lying on the floor, making it easier to lift them off the ground.
4. Stair chair stretcher: A device that combines a chair and a stretcher, allowing EMS personnel to transport patients up and down stairs safely.
5. Basket stretcher: A rigid, lightweight, and portable device used for carrying patients over rough terrain or in rescue situations.
6. Spine board stretcher: A firm and flat device designed to immobilize patients with suspected spinal injuries during transport.
Stretchers are an essential piece of medical equipment that helps ensure the safe and comfortable transportation of patients in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, emergency medical services (EMS), and rescue operations.
