AB Children  who  present  to  the  emergency  department  with  considerable  trauma  such  as  motor  vehicle  crash,  motor  vehicle-pedestrian  accident,  fall  from  high  elevations,  sports  injuries,  and/or  neurologic  complaints  should  alert  the  provider  about  the  potential  for  spinal  cord  injury.  Management  of  children  with  spinal  injuries  usually  starts  in  the  prehospital  setting  and  begins  with  rapid  cardiorespiratory  resuscitation.  Immobilization  of  the  cervical  spine  must  be  provided  immediately  and  maintained  until  evaluation  and  assessment  is  performed.
