Open neck injury
The neck contains the cervical spine, pharynx, larynx, trachea, esophagus, and important blood vessels and nerves. It is supported and protected by the mandible, sternum, clavicle, shoulder, and cervical spine, but open injuries are still not uncommon. Open injury of the neck can often cause partial or complete rupture of the larynx, trachea, pharynx, esophagus, and cervical spine, and cause cervical emphysema, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and even pericardial tamponade and massive hemorrhage shock. The condition is very dangerous, with a mortality rate of 2% to 10%. Therefore, immediate on-site emergency treatment is necessary. Pay attention to protecting the cervical spine during transportation to prevent further injury during operation.

Equine Tetanus Immunoglobulin (F(ab)2)
Indication: Used to prevent and treat tetanus. When tetanus or suspected symptoms have appeared, antitoxin treatment should be used in time while undergoing surgical treatment and other therapies. When there is a risk of tetanus infection from open wounds (especially those with deep wounds and serious contamination), prevention should be carried out in time. Anyone who has received tetanus toxoid immunization should receive another injection of toxoid to strengthen immunization after the injury, and there is no need to inject antitoxin; those who have not received toxoid immunization or have an unclear immunization history must be injected with antitoxin for prevention, but should also start toxin-like preventive injections at the same time to obtain lasting immunity.
