What are the Canadian C-Spine rules (at least one from each of the three steps)?
Step 1: High-Risk Factors (→ image if ANY are present)
Age ≥ 65 years
Dangerous mechanism of injury (e.g., fall from height, high-speed MVC, axial load to head)
Paresthesias in extremities
Step 2: Low-Risk Factors (→ allow safe assessment of motion)
If none of the high-risk factors are present, check for low-risk factors that allow evaluation:
Simple rear-end motor vehicle collision
Sitting position in the ED
Ambulatory at any time after injury
Delayed onset of neck pain (not immediate)
No midline cervical spine tenderness
Step 3: Neck Rotation
If at least one low-risk factor is present, assess active neck rotation
If the patient can rotate their neck 45° left and right, no imaging is needed
If unable to rotate 45°, imaging is required
