A huge thank you to all who participated in making #acspcp2026 a success! That includes all of our speakers, our panelists, our planning committee, our vendors, and most importantly...our attendees! Hope to see you back next year for #acspcp2027 @Mdcotcom @AmCollSurgeons

Exciting debate on SMR=spinal motion restriction. Can we throw out field use of the board and collar? Is it dogma vs evidence? Very exciting debate happening now in Day 2 of #acspcp2026 Presented by Dr. Tim Chizmar and Dr. Michael Millen @NAEMSP @Mdcotcom @ATSTrauma

[Elliott R Haut, MD, PhD, MAMSE @elliotthaut]

Is MAP push beneficial in trauma patients with spinal cord injury?

I always love that debaters on both sides cite the same paper.

See the @EAST_TRAUMA multicenter study published in @TSACO_AAST #acspcp2026

Should you just put a tube in it??

[Point/Counterpoint @PCounterpoint]

Debate 2 - Nerve blocks for acute fractures in the ED?? What do you do? Dr. Samet from @shocktrauma and Dr. Osgood from @HopkinsOrtho debate! Is the risk for masking compartment syndrome outweighed by the benefit of an effective block? #acspcp2026 share your comments below!

[Julia R Coleman, MD MPH FACS @JuliaColemanMD]

And so it begins! Looking forward to a great Point Counterpoint conference, starting with @topknife and @SteinSister on whether mild TBI needs to be admitted @PCounterpoint

[Point/Counterpoint @PCounterpoint]

And so it begins!! Should all mild TBI be admitted? Debate #1 between @SteinSister versus @topknife gets heated! Are there exceptions to the BIG? Does age matter? Symptomatology? #acspcp2026
