Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The focus of preclinical management of trauma patients with suspcious vertebral injury is the avoidance of both additional neurological lesions and worsening of the present lesions. Dependent on the trauma mechanisms involved, primary care at the scene has to consider and assess vertebral injury. Associated vertebral injuries may be excluded only in the absence of disturbed consciousness, neurological deficits, vertebral pain, muscular rigidity, intoxication and extremity trauma. Otherwise, patients with potential vertebral injury should be immobilized at the scene with a cervical collar and afterwards rescued using either a padded boards, spine-board or immobilization corset. For transportation, complete immobilization should be assured on a rescue cloth using a vacuum-sealed backboard. Whereas preclinical analgesia is well accepted and standardized, the accompanying corticoid therapy is controversial. Since early surgical intervention may by beneficial, the primary destination should be the nearest trauma centre providing vertebral surgical care. Therefore, a gentle and speedy transport is indicated. © Springer Medizin Verlag 2005.
