Exciting debate on SMR=spinal motion restriction. Can we throw out field use of the board and collar? Is it dogma vs evidence? Very exciting debate happening now in Day 2 of #acspcp2026 Presented by Dr. Tim Chizmar and Dr. Michael Millen @NAEMSP @Mdcotcom @ATSTrauma

Is MAP push beneficial in trauma patients with spinal cord injury? I always love that debaters on both sides cite the same paper. See the @EAST_TRAUMA multicenter study published in @TSACO_AAST #acspcp2026 tsaco.bmj.com/content/10/3/e…

Debate 2 - Nerve blocks for acute fractures in the ED?? What do you do? Dr. Samet from @shocktrauma and Dr. Osgood from @HopkinsOrtho debate! Is the risk for masking compartment syndrome outweighed by the benefit of an effective block? #acspcp2026 share your comments below!

And so it begins!! Should all mild TBI be admitted? Debate #1 between @SteinSister versus @topknife gets heated! Are there exceptions to the BIG? Does age matter? Symptomatology? #acspcp2026

Carrie Valdez and Babak Sarani debate the use of laparoscopy in trauma...sure it makes sense for some, but does it make sense for every patient? How do you decide? Are we underusing? Overusing? @PCounterpoint @Mdcotcom #acspcp2025
