Facilitators and barriers to application of the Canadian C-spine rule by emergency department triage nurses

摘要

Objectives: We recently conducted a multicentre implementation study on the use of the Canadian C-Spine Rule ( CCR) by emergency department ( ED) nurses to clear the c-spine in alert and stable trauma patients ( n = 4506). The objective of this study was to conduct a survey of nurses, physicians, and administrators to evaluate their views on the facilitators and barriers to the implementation of the CCR.
