Would you be willing to alter any aspect of your standard practices regarding cervical spine traction as a result of evidence based or consensus driven findings? CVJ = craniovertebral junction. Delphi Round 1 Responses from the initial survey were used to generate 60 potential consensus statements ( Table 2 ). Questions covering

now be presented Operative Technique Crutchfield tongs for skeletal traction are inserted in the skull in the line of the mastoid tip. Usually reduction is achieved with 5 to 7 lbs of traction, but in some cases more weight may prove to be necessary. In the operating room the patient is intubated on a stretcher, care being taken not to flex or extend the cervical spine. Traction is maintained during intubation. The patient is then moved to the operating table and placed in a prone position. The head and neck are kept in a neutral position. The patient is
