Help! Abbreviation question
Subject: Help! Abbreviation question
When a doctor refers to the cervical spine in a report as a c-spine, should it be expanded or should it be left alone (not in diagnosis), and should the "c" be capitalized or lowercase? I have researched and I am seeing it both ways.
Also, does a physician place a patient "on a cervical collar" or "in a cervical collar"? Physician states "on" which makes sense, like they are placing them on a medication, but it just looks weird.
