Popis:	The application of a reliable adequate pressure dressing to one side of the neck has always proved difficult, because of the risk of occluding the airway and the vasculature. We describe a method of maintaining well-localized pressure to one side of the neck without undue pressure on the vasculature and the airway by using a stiff cervical collar. This method was used successfully in the conservative management of neck haematoma in two patients.
