What Does CID Stand For?
CID stands for Cervical Immobilization Device
CID, or Cervical Immobilization Device, is a specialized medical apparatus designed to stabilize and immobilize the cervical spine in patients with suspected neck injuries. It is utilized in emergency settings to prevent further spinal damage during transport and is essential for maintaining alignment and minimizing movement, thereby ensuring patient safety and facilitating appropriate medical care. The device is typically adjustable, ergonomic, and can be used in conjunction with other immobilization techniques to provide comprehensive support for the cervical region.
