Regular training of extrication procedures has paid off considerably in reducing spinal movement during extrication from a racecar. If an extricable seat is available, extrication should be performed using it. However, if emergency extrication is necessary, an additional manual cervical spine immobilization should be conducted using the Rautek maneuver to sufficiently reduce cervical spine movement.
