T/GDNAS 023-2022 Transportation Techniques for Patients with Cervical Fractures

Scope

Scope: This document specifies the relevant terms and definitions, basic requirements, pre-transport assessment, selection of transport tools, fixation items, transport implementation, and post-transport care for the transport of patients with cervical fractures. This document is applicable to nursing staff in all levels and types of medical and health institutions for the transport of patients with cervical fractures. Other institutions may refer to it for implementation. Main technical content: For patients with cervical fractures or cervical fractures accompanied by spinal cord injuries, adequate assessment and preparation work should be carried out before transport. Assess the on-site environment and determine the feasibility and safety of transport. Based on the assessment results, select the transport tools, manpower, and methods. When performing position movement or transport, the patient's head and neck and torso should be fixed in a central position, and the spine should be kept straight, strictly prohibiting bending or twisting to prevent/reduce further spinal injury. Throughout the entire operation, one operator should always fix the patient's head. Based on the patient's position and transport situation, the operator should fix the patient's head and neck correctly.
