Abstract Introduction In blunt trauma comatose patients Glasgow Coma Scale score 3 to 8 with a negative comprehensive cervical spine CS computed tomography assessment and no apparent spinal deficit CS clearance strategies magnetic resonance imaging MRI and prolonged cervical collar use are controversial. Methods We conducted a literature review to delineate risks for coma CS instability prolonged cervical collar use and CS MRI. Results Based on our search of the literature the numbers of functional survivor patients among those who had sustained blunt trauma were as follows 350 per 1 000 comatose unstable
