Why is this important?

🔹>8 million kids/yr in the US go the ED after blunt #trauma w/ <1% having cervical spine injuries.

🔹CT scans are often used to evaluate for c-spine injuries, exposing kids to ionizing radiation

🔹This study provides guidance on who really needs a scan

🚨Hot off the Press!

Introducing the #PECARN C-spine Rule!

This groundbreaking study, led by @JCLeonardMDMPH, provides a clinical prediction tool for identifying cervical spine injury risk in children experiencing blunt trauma.
