The Specialist Trauma Advisory Network (STAN) is a advisory group and oversight network of clinical specialist for complex trauma care across B.C. STAN in collaboration with provincial spinal experts and trauma clinicians developed these guidelines to enhance communication amongst all clinicians when caring for the major trauma patient. The goal of STAN is to develop evidence informed clinical practice guidelines (CPG)'s in order to provide practical guidance for clinicians in trauma centres across B.C. The purpose of this CPG is to review best evidence and generate expert consensus on recommendations for the management of suspected spinal injury in adult patients (age ≥16) within B.C. |
