Just curious.. Who out there is still routinely c-spining their patients? If so, do you do it because protocol dictates it or because you feel it is necessary and/or appropriate?
As for our department (and region) we are going on about a year now of only back boarding and c-collaring patients with confirmed neuro deficit. Backboard use has gone down exponentially. We were of course sure to involve the local trauma centers before this decision to make sure we were all on the same page.
