Summary
The goal of this cohort study is to evaluate the safety and potential impact of an active strategy that allows paramedics to assess very low-risk trauma patients with the Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) and transport them to the Emergency Department without immobilization. The specific objectives of the study are to determine safety, determine the clinical impact and evaluate performance.
