Just to sprinkle in some non-COVID posts to the timeline, what are the biggest trauma myths you wish you could bust?

I’ll start: CPR for traumatic arrest is like Heimlich for pneumonia. Heart stopping is the result, not the cause.

Here’s another: Spine CTs spare radiation.

CT of T spine + L spine actually gives a HIGHER radiation dose than CT chest, abdomen, pelvis with reformats, and ability to detect meaningful injuries is roughly the same.
