简要总结
The aim of the study is to evaluate the application of Canadian C-Spine rules adapted to pre-hospital settings in France in order to improve the appropriateness of cervical spine immobilisation, reduce unnecessary imaging examinations and optimise patient care pathways.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of applying the Canadian C-Spine rules adapted (CCRa) to the pre-hospital context of the French healthcare system. The hypothesis is that the use of these rules will improve the appropriateness of cervical collar use, reduce the need for imaging examinations, reduce referrals to emergency departments and ensure the identification of patients really at risk of cervical spine injury. Collaboration between primary care providers, including the fire service, emergency medical services (EMS) and general practitioners, will be crucial to successful implementation.
As part of routine care, each time the fire brigade is called out to deal with a health problem, it carries out an assessment at the SAMU (emergency medical service) to decide how the patient should be referred and treated. During this assessment and call, patients meeting the inclusion criteria of our study will be selected. After inclusion, patients will be assessed by a firefighter or SMUR physician specifically trained in CCRa rules in addition to the study training. Following application of the CCRa rules, the final decision on immobilisation will be taken by an investigating physician from the EMS in consultation with the study-trained professional taking charge of the patient. If the CCRa accept the indication for a cervical collar, immobilisation will be performed and the patient will be referred to the emergency department of the investigating centre. When the decision rules do not include an indication for cervical imaging, the patient will not be immobilised with a cervical collar. In this second case, patients will not be referred to A&E unless they have another reason for being referred to A&E. All patients included in the study will be recalled 14 and 30 days after their trauma to collect data about their healthcare consumption. At day 14, answers to a questionnaire focusing on cervical lesion suspicion are also collected. If there is a suspicion of a lesion in the answers to the questionnaire , the patient will be called in by the investigating centre for a medical examination and more detailed imaging tests. In parallel, the practices and organizations of firefighters in the fire stations will be evaluated before the start of inclusions and the feasibility and reproducibility of implementing CCRa as part of the pre-hospital care organisation of the French healthcare system will be determined.
