Cross-cultural adaptation and its impact on research in emergency care (2023)
Journal Article
Roberts, T., Carlton, E., Booker, M., Voss, S., Vaillancourt, S., Jafar, A. J. N., & Benger, J. (2023). Cross-cultural adaptation and its impact on research in emergency care. Emergency Medicine Journal, 40(6), 396-403. https://doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2022-212337

The perspective of patients is increasingly recognised as important to care improvement and innovation. Patient questionnaires such as patient-reported outcome measures may often require cross-cultural adaptation (CCA) to gather their intended inform...

The measurement of tissue interface pressures and changes in jugular venous parameters associated with cervical immobilisation devices: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article
Sparke, A., Voss, S., & Benger, J. (2013). The measurement of tissue interface pressures and changes in jugular venous parameters associated with cervical immobilisation devices: A systematic review. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 21(1), 81. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-7241-21-81

Cervical immobilisation is commonly applied following trauma, particularly blunt head injury, but current methods of immobilisation are associated with significant complications. Semi-rigid disposable cervical collars are known to cause pressure ulce...

Methods for evaluating cervical range of motion in trauma settings (2012)
Journal Article
Voss, S., Page, M., & Benger, J. (2012). Methods for evaluating cervical range of motion in trauma settings. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 20(50), https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-7241-20-50

Immobilisation of the cervical spine is a common procedure following traumatic injury. This is often precautionary as the actual incidence of spinal injury is low. Nonetheless, stabilisation of the head and neck is an important part of pre-hospital c... Read More about Methods for evaluating cervical range of motion in trauma settings.

Prediction in meningococcal disease:\newline A literature review (2011)
Journal Article

Meningococcal disease is a global burden with an estimated annual death rate of 170000 worldwide. The disease has an overall mortality greater than 10%. Despite these figures, several studies demonstrate that the management of children with severe me... Read More about Prediction in meningococcal disease:\newline A literature review.

Pre-procedural fasting in emergency sedation (2010)

Why do We put cervical collars on conscious Trauma patients? (2009)
Journal Article
Benger, J., & Blackham, J. (2009). Why do We put cervical collars on conscious Trauma patients?. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 17(1), 1757-7241. https://doi.org/10.1186/1757-7241-17-44

In this commentary we argue that fully alert, stable and co-operative trauma patients do not require the application of a semi-rigid cervical collar, even if they are suspected of underlying cervical spine fracture, unless their conscious level deter...
