Abstract

The vacuum splint has been shown to be a simple, safe and effective method of emergency splinting of fractured extremities. The splint is simply constructed from clear vinyl sheeting and contains 2-mm. expanded polystyrene balls. Evacuation of air causes the splint to become rigid, thereby providing stability and immobilization of the limb. The splint is radiolucent, containing no obstructive metal components that would interfere with the radiographic appearance of the injured limb. The ease of application of this splint makes it especially effective for the emergency splinting of fractures in children.

摘要

真空夹板已被证明是一种用于四肢骨折紧急固定的简单、安全且有效的方法。该夹板由透明乙烯基薄片简单制成，内部含有2毫米的膨胀聚苯乙烯球。排出空气会使夹板变硬，从而为肢体提供稳定性并使其固定。该夹板是射线可透过的，不包含会干扰受伤肢体X线影像的阻碍性金属部件。这种夹板应用简便，使其在儿童骨折的紧急固定中特别有效。
