Welcome to the suspected spinal injury update blog. Changing 40+ years of practice will not be easy for everyone. This forum is intended to provide answers to your questions, maintain consistency in our message and best of all - provide some tools to help make this update as simple as possible. We will be adding toolkits for educators, a full production video demonstration, skills demonstration suggestions and presentations when needed.
These first two files are the updated 2015 T-8 protocol and the SEMAC position on the practice update supporting these changes.
