Doesn’t it stand for “ice compress elevate”??

I was taught RICE which is: Rest, Immobilization, Cold, Elevation The article mentions a shift from ICE to RICE (which I’m aware of) and then another shift to PRICE, which I’m not aware of— anyone know what the P stands for?

  Protection. Preventing further injury.

    Seems… pointless? Obviously protect all of you from further injury insomuch as you can. It seems like someone just wanted to invent another acronym.

      It's not meant to be general protection, like wearing shin guards next time so you don't get hurt at all. Instead, they mean that you should protect the injury so that it's not exacerbated: brace it or put it in a sling, have the patient use crutches, etc.

Yes, I'm not sure where GP got that other acronym. And, given that, people talking about ice (frozen water) is fine, since that's specifically one of the things the new paper seems to be suggesting people stop doing, as well as stopping the use of anti-inflammatories.

  I got it here: https://university.hygger.io/en/articles/3272334-lesson-6-ice-rice-methods https://university.hygger.io/en/articles/3272334-lesson-6-ic... I didn't search beyond the first result; but it seemed clear that it was an acronym, and it wasn't expanded in the article. So there may be other ways of expanding the acronym.

    People use the same acronyms in different fields to mean different things, so it's definitely a good idea to double-check that is in the right domain. "Impact" may have made it look like it's talking about an injury, but actually those acronyms you found are about prioritizing tasks in product development.

    The correct acronym, which includes ice (frozen water), is in the title of the citation in the abstract. > Rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries can be complex. Over the years, acronyms guiding their management have evolved from ICE to RICE[1], then to PRICE[2] and POLICE[3]. > [1] van den Bekerom MPJ, Struijs PAA, Blankevoort L, et al.

    You don’t even need to consider context, you need to use the right acronym to start. The current acronym isn’t even ICE - it’s RICE.

    That website is about project management. Nothing to do with medicine or treating injuries.

I knew that as RICE: Rest Ice Compression Elevation. I remember seeing in in medwiki which was a wikipedia curated my doctors that Standford tried to launch iirc.

  That's what I remember as well. It seems like the acronym has been so successful that it remains popular even though no one can agree one what it stands for.
