Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the application of Canadian C-Spine rules adapted to pre-hospital settings in France in order to improve the appropriateness of cervical spine immobilisation, reduce unnecessary imaging examinations and optimise patient care pathways.

Conditions

  • Prehospital Emergency
  • Neck Injury
  • Neck Trauma
  • Emergency Medical Services

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

adapted Canadian C-Spine rules

The CCRa are decision rules for pre-hospital cervical spine collar immobilization. They include three high-risk criteria indicating imaging, 5 low-risk criteria allowing assessment of cervical spine rotation, and finally the ability of patients to achieve limited active rotation. They have been designed and validated to avoid immobilization during transport to the emergency department without any significant cervical injury being missed.
