Description

The Full-Mechanical System for Protecting Spinal Cord As it can be observed, trauma is nowadays one of the most troublesome problems in any community and also of the most important causes of morbidities and mortalities. Trauma can be defined as a bodily harm to a vital or non-vital organ during an accident. The main objective of the medical staff and emergency ward in such cases should be preventing from mortality or morbidity in the injured person. To save the injured person’s life is one of the medical principles that should be observed when encountering such a person. This can be achieved to a great extent by avoiding unnecessary transferences of the injured one. Trauma occurs by several reasons such as: 1) Car accidents 2) Downfall from height 3) Severe industrial traumas 4) Harms caused by sudden deceleration and similar reasons that exceed the limited space of this section. Among the mentioned cases above, the highest figure of morbidities and mortalities returns to car accidents, having taken this figure from all of the industrialized and non-industrialized countries. Medical staff and emergency ward play an important role in harm reduction and mortality reduction. If we intend to deal with the most important harms caused by trauma, cervical, pectoral, and backbone traumas of the spinal cord are doubtlessly the most prominent ones. In severe types of trauma, harms to spinal column and then to spinal cord are known as the main complications. According to the reports and figures, harms to the spinal cord occur during the following steps: 1) Harms during accident 2) Harms after accident For example someone who is harmed by a traumatic injury in his/her car and then gets sudden extensions while rescuing by emergency staff or common people, will have severe and irrecoverable harms to the spinal column; a technical flaw or an action that is done for rescuing purpose, may result in rupture or lesion of the spinal cord and the injured person will lose his/her ordinary life; for example fails to walk, control the urination and excretion and many other problems. Harms to the backbone spinal column are numerous and any heaving of them may cause irrecoverable harms some of which include: 1) Fracture 2) Sliding of the spines on each other because of ligament harms (sub-luxation). 3) Smashing in the form of compression fracture 4) Wedge fracture 5) Torsion In an injured person with any of these harms, it is naturally impossible to diagnose the kind of harm before transporting to hospital and taking accurate examinations and necessary medical imaging. Therefore the injured rescuing process, placing on the stretcher, transporting to the hospital, and displacements that take place in the meantime are of a high significance. Because the above-mentioned harms are out of sight, the injured person will receive an again trauma during the rescue and transportation stages; this trauma will cause irrecoverable harms on the vital organs like spinal cord. In other words, transportation of the injured person must be done in a way that no displacement will be seen from the created state of the injured. When, for instance, the injured person suffers from any degree of vertebral rotation in the spinal column, the rotated parts should not be returned to the previous state under any circumstances; or in case of vertebral flexion, vertebral extension, and lateral flexion, the injured should not be positioned to upright status. Observing this principle is practically difficult (if not impossible), since the injured will be dislocated anyway while transportation and involuntary harms will be inevitable. There is no suitable and yet practical solution for such these cases all over the world and sorry to say that the main harm of these technical and practical flaws will fall directly on the injured person and its irrecoverable damages are for the injured at first and then for the society and its economic and health system. By designing the Protective Spinal Cord device, the undersigned hope to solve this problem in the best way and offer a worthy help in preventing permanent damages to these injured ones. With its complicated and unique design, this device can not be described in details, but I can say in short that it is designed so that moves along three axes of X, Y, and Z and can be fixed at any form imposed on it. In other words, it works as a linear flexible fixative that takes form at any angle and position and then fixes in that state. Suppose, for example, a traumatic person that is unconscious and injured from the spinal column part, positioned in the state of flexion (leaned forward) and a slight rotation in spinal column part, laid on the ground, inside the car, or any other place that does not allow any movement. The PSC device rests flexibly on the current axis of patient’s spinal column; that is it lays fittingly just like a band on leaning and rotating zones of the spinal column and fixes in that position using its simple mechanism; the device takes the injured person’s position so that it will be impossible to move it. Then by means of the lateral flexible cranks it fastens around the body; these cranks bend from the two sides of the body and tie together. In this manner one can take the injured easily and without any change in his/her status, carry on the bed and move him/her simply, no need to change the position. The other notable point that is a fundamental capability of this device is that its parts are not insulated against radiology rays; this capability makes it possible for PSC device to remain on the injured body until the finalization of medical imaging. This device has no domestic or foreign parallel and it is hoped to use it all of the mobile and non-mobile emergency systems to prevent harms resulted by spinal column traumas. Respectfully Nourian
