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
