Is anyone online using an assessment rule
(similar to Ottawa ankle rule, etc) to assess patients presenting with
neck pain, particularly following trauma.
I am aware of Canadian C-Spine Rule
& NEXUS (National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study) study, but
curious if any are implemented in the UK.
Thanks in advance, references appreciated where
appropriate, if anyone has there own criteria for deciding to X-ray or discharge
I'd be interested to see guidelines.
Many thanks in anticipation
Andrew
