The Division of Acute Care Surgery, Pediatrics, and Pediatric Surgery in the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV collaborated on a pediatric cervical spine clearance guideline for treating children after traumatic injuries. The results of this quality initiative project titled, "A Pediatric Cervical Spine Clearance Guideline Leads to Fewer Unnecessary Computed Tomography Scans and Decreased Radiation Exposure," were presented at the Western Trauma Association Annual Meeting in 2020 and recently published in Pediatric Emergency Care.
