Extrication is the process of removing a person from an entrapment, usually a motor vehicle, when conventional means of exit are impossible or inadvisable. A delicate approach is needed to minimise injury to the victim during the extrication. This operation is usually accomplished by using chocks and bracing for stabilization and powered rescue tools and equipment.
To ensure that the patient is positioned and immobilized properly, immobilization devices are used. Patient Immobilisation restricts motion to the injured area which can help reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasm.
