Assessment and Management of Whiplash From the Emergency and Acute Care Setting: Care, Questions, and Future Global Research Needs.
The primary goal of this editorial is to discuss the care patients typically receive in the immediate post-motor vehicle collision setting and the questions patients typically ask with respect to their symptoms and prognosis. Commentary and guidance are provided from the perspective of an acute care physician on what we should be able to tell patients and providers going forward.
