Detailed explanation-1: -A rigid cervical collar is usually applied to each patient until spinal stability is confirmed. Hard collars potentially cause venous outflow obstruction and are a nociceptive stimulus, which might elevate intracranial pressure (ICP).
Detailed explanation-2: -Cervical collars, also known as neck braces or C collars, are used to support your spinal cord and head. These collars are a common treatment option for neck injuries, neck surgeries, and some instances of neck pain. There are different types of cervical collars.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hypertonic saline is a hyperosmolar therapy that is used in traumatic brain injury to reduce intracranial pressure.
