It's "update the geezer time"....

I have often applied air splints successfully 9bck in the 1980's), typically in the mountains with rapid transport, usually helo, to a lower elevation ER. Naturally pressure required adjustment during transport and all were well award of this. Typically we did not achieve a definitive diagnosis in the field and splint application was a cautionary measure. Compound, grossly distorted fx's were a different story.

A quick peek on the internet evidently shows air splints stil eing marketed. Whose call has made them obsolete?

this is a straightforward request for current information. i am well aware that protocols change with time.

Agree that many of the practices advocated in the post you responded to do seem a bit far out. Guess they play by different rules down under....
