Talk:Clearing the cervical spine

My experience (and training including ATLS) does not say that x-rays are needed of the thoraco-lumbar spine to clear the c-spine. If there is an injury in the c-spine then yes but not as part of a basic survey.Doctormonkey (talk) 20:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

64-slice CT with reconstructions is adequate to clear the cervical spines of obtunded patients. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Walker.andrew (talk • contribs) 03:54, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
