Blunt Trauma
Some links to useful resources
C-spine
The NICE guidelines on this are from 2016 (all 330 pages of it), basically they recommend the Canadian C-spine rules. A St-emlyn's summary or a RCEM audio summary and discussion are more accessible.
RCEM have a readable review as well.
This paper is quiet dismissive of distracting injuries and this one of midline tenderness; which is interesting.
EMJ Review on elderly C-spine injuries is sobering.
Head
For those with GCS 14/15 on DOAC we may not need to scan
The CRASH-3 study showed that (probably) a benefit for some patients with head injuries to give TXA. Many summaries only including st-emlyn's and resus rooms.
It's quite difficult to tell what happens to patients with the catastrophic head injury; this FICM paper gives a nuanced and balanced approach.
Chest
This review provides a nice overview and RCEM have a good learning module on the more serious injuries.
Abdomen
A discussion on haematuria from LITFL is useful
Pelvis
NICE guidelines available and a readable overview .
More information on the pelvic binder than you could possibly need from Phemcast.
