Summary
The initial management of a child with a suspected spine injury is the same as for an adult. Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocols of primary and secondary survey must be followed. Cervical spine protection is linked to airway management, which is the first step in managing an injured person. A paediatric spinal board should be used in children aged <8 years to avoid neck flexion due to their relatively large heads.
