  Debate exists on how to best immobilize the cervical spine in the prehospital setting. Rigid cervical collars have been considered the standard of care for both the prevention and care of patients with suspected cervical spinal cord injury (c-SCI). Recently, soft c-collars have begun replacing rigid collars as they are better tolerated by patients. The aim of this study was to compare the safety of these 2 devices by evaluating the prevalence of c-SCI in patients immobilized with a rigid c-collar with those in a soft c-collar.
