Evaluation of the Safety of C-Spine Clearance by Paramedics
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Canadian C-Spine Rule for Fracture of Cervical Spine. Completed, enrolled 4,034 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this cohort study is to evaluate the safety and potential impact of an active strategy that allows paramedics to assess very low-risk trauma patients with the Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) and transport them to the Emergency Department without immobilization. The specific objectives of the study are to determine safety, determine the clinical impact and evaluate performance.
