The spinal immobilization, what about children ?

medicine
Our project, ‘The spinal immobilization, what about children?’, focuses on the creation of a device for spinal immobilization in babies and toddlers, in line with the new recommendation: the elimination of the cervical collar due to its deleterious effects. To achieve this, we have produced two prototypes, and the third may be ready by EUCYS 2024. During our research and to validate our work, we had the opportunity to consult professionals in the field, namely three ambulance drivers, including an emergency nurse. Our second prototype, after testing, confirmed the validity of our project by reducing the risk of spinal cord injury by 88.33% (schematic experiment).
