    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of prehospital spinal immobilization in polytraumatized patients for the reduction of neurological deterioration. Material and method: The type was quantitative, the design was systematic review which is observational and retrospective, 10 articles from the following databases were taken into account. Of the 10 articles, 70% (7/10) correspond to the methodological design of systematic review, and 30% (3/10) are retrospective studies. Results: It was evidenced that some authors agree that with an adequate and timely prehospital spinal immobilization in polytraumatized patients, neurological deterioration can be reduced; with other authors indicating that they were not effective for the reduction of neurological deterioration; therefore, spinal immobilization in polytraumatized patients is essential to minimize spinal cord injury secondary to poor mobilization of the patient during transfer. Conclusions: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 60% of articles demonstrated that prehospital spinal immobilization in polytrauma patients was effective in reducing neurological deterioration; and 40% of articles demonstrated that prehospital spinal immobilization in polytrauma patients was not effective in reducing neurological deterioration.
