Pediatric cervical spine clearance: A review and understanding of the concepts
Publication date: March 2016 Source:Apollo Medicine, Volume 13, Issue 1 Author(s): Pankaj Kumar Spinal injuries to children account for somewhere between 1% and 10% of all spinal trauma. Evaluations of cervical spine injuries required multidisciplinary approach for definitive management. Knowing which patients are at highest risk for injuries will undoubtedly influence decisions on how aggressively to pursue a potential cervical spine injury. This can be achieved by establishing a multidisciplinary team that provides standards for cervical spine immobilization, assessment, and clearance. Implementation of such guidel...
