EAST Guidelines Removal of cervical collars: Cervical collars should be removed as soon as feasible after trauma (Level 3).

EAST Guidelines In the patient with penetrating trauma to the brain: Immobilization in a cervical collar is not necessary unless the trajectory suggests direct injury to the cervical spine (CS) (Level 3).

EAST Guidelines In awake, alert trauma patients without neurologic deficit or distracting injury who have no neck pain or tenderness with full range of motion of the CS: CS imaging is not necessary and the cervical collar may be removed (Level 2).

EAST Guidelines All other patients in whom CS injury is suspected must have radiographic evaluation. This applies to patients with pain or tenderness, patients with neurologic deficit, patients with altered mental status, and patients with distracting injury

EAST Guidelines The primary screening modality is axial computed tomography (CT) from the occiput to T1 with sagittal and coronal reconstructions (Level 2). Plain radiographs contribute to no additional information and should not be obtained (Level 2) If CT of the CS demonstrates injury: obtain spine consultation If there is neurologic deficit attributable to a CS injury: obtain spine consultation; obtain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

EAST Guidelines For the neurologically-intact awake and alert patient complaining of neck pain with a negative CT: Options Continue cervical collar Cervical collar may be removed after negative MR (Level 3) Cervical collar may be removed after negative and adequate flexion/extension films (Level 3)

EAST Guidelines For the obtunded patient with a negative CT and gross motor function of extremities: Flexion/extension radiography should not be performed (Level 2)

EAST Guidelines The risk/benefit ratio of obtaining MR in addition to CT is not clear, and its use must be individualized in each institution (Level 3). Options are: Continue cervical collar immobilization until a clinical exam can be performed Remove the cervical collar on the basis of CT alone Obtain MR

EAST Guidelines If MR is negative, the cervical collar may be safely removed (Level 2).
