  • Title: The management and treatment of cervical spine injuries.
    Author: Al-Khateeb H, Oussedik S.
    Journal: Hosp Med; 2005 Jul; 66(7):389-95. PubMed ID: 16025793.
    Abstract:
    The cervical spine is a relatively fragile structure traversed by the spinal cord. Injuries to the cervical spine (c-spine) are therefore associated with potentially catastrophic neurological complications. This article illustrates the importance of routine c-spine immobilization in all trauma patients and highlights how early diagnosis of injuries can optimize outcome.
