The Ambu Mini Perfit ACE extrication collar is designed to assist with the maintenance of neutral alignment and prevent lateral sway, anterior-posterior flexion, and extension of the cervical spine during patient transport, routine care, or movement.

പ്രധാന സവിശേഷതകളിൽ ഇവ ഉൾപ്പെടുന്നു:

• A comprehensive sizing system offering a dozen sizes in one collar for easy and accurate fitting.
• A flip chin piece that allows for flat storage, pre-shaping to fit the chin, and facilitates intubation and removal of vomitus from the mouth.
• Compatibility with CT and MRI scans.
• A ventilated, posterior shell designed for fluid drainage.

2. സജ്ജീകരണവും വലുപ്പവും

The Ambu Mini Perfit ACE collar features an adjustable sizing system to accommodate a wide range of neck circumferences, suitable for children and small adults. Proper sizing is crucial for effective immobilization and patient comfort.

To set up the collar:

1. Select the appropriate size using the integrated sizing guide on the collar. The collar offers 12 distinct size settings.
2. Adjust the collar to the desired height by manipulating the adjustable components. Refer to the markings on the collar for guidance.

3. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once properly sized and adjusted, the Ambu Mini Perfit ACE collar is applied to the patient to provide cervical spine immobilization.

• Ensure the patient's head and neck are in a neutral, in-line position before application.
• Carefully position the posterior shell of the collar behind the patient's neck.
• Bring the anterior portion of the collar around the patient's neck, ensuring the chin piece is correctly seated and the collar provides firm, but not restrictive, support.
• Secure the collar using the fastening mechanisms, ensuring a snug fit that prevents lateral sway and excessive flexion/extension.
• The flip chin piece can be moved to facilitate intubation or to allow for the removal of vomitus from the mouth without removing the entire collar.

Regularly monitor the patient for comfort and proper collar positioning during transport or care.

4. പരിചരണവും പരിപാലനവും

The Ambu Mini Perfit ACE cervical collar is designed for single patient use. However, for general hygiene and compatibility, note the following:

• The collar is CT and MRI compatible, allowing for imaging procedures without removal.
• The ventilated posterior shell is designed for fluid drainage, which aids in maintaining hygiene during use.

After use, dispose of the collar according to local medical waste regulations.

5. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the use of the Ambu Mini Perfit ACE cervical collar.

• Improper Fit or Discomfort: If the collar appears too loose, too tight, or causes patient discomfort, re-evaluate the sizing and adjustment. Ensure the correct size setting has been selected and the chin piece is properly positioned.
• Difficulty with Intubation/Vomitus Removal: Ensure the flip chin piece is correctly manipulated and pre-shaped to provide adequate access for these procedures.
• Collar Movement: If the collar shifts or allows excessive movement of the cervical spine, re-check the tightness of the fastening mechanisms and ensure the collar is securely applied.

Always ensure the patient's safety and comfort. If issues persist, consult with a medical professional or refer to relevant medical protocols.
