Summary

The routine use of cervical collar in emergency medical conditions has recently been questioned. The application of cervical collars, as their opponents point out, results in deterioration of intubation conditions, intensification of pain in the region of mastoid processes, and impaired venous outflow from the head.

Conditions

• Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter
• Ultrasonography
