THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF IMMOBILIZATION EQUIPMENT IN EMERGENCY CARE

Abstract

This paper highlights the role and significance of immobilization devices in emergency medical practice. Immobilization is a crucial step in trauma care that involves restricting movement of injured body parts to reduce pain, prevent complications, and ensure the safe transportation of patients. The study provides an overview of different types of immobilization devices, their proper application, and common mistakes that may lead to adverse outcomes. It also emphasizes the importance of modern technology, staff training, and hands-on skills in improving the effectiveness of immobilization. The findings show that correct selection and use of immobilization devices play a vital role in increasing the efficiency of emergency care and in saving patients’ lives.
