A huge thank you to all who participated in making #acspcp2026 a success! That includes all of our speakers, our panelists, our planning committee, our vendors, and most importantly...our attendees! Hope to see you back next year for #acspcp2027 @Mdcotcom @AmCollSurgeons
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 – at Baltimore, MD

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

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! – at Baltimore, MD

And so it begins! Looking forward to a great Point Counterpoint conference, starting with @topknife and @SteinSister on whether mild TBI needs to be admitted @PCounterpoint
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
#acspcp2026 starts tomorrow!!! We are so pumped about the program. Great debates, thought-provoking panels, and cutting-edge keynote talks. Stay tuned for exciting content! A huge thank you to the planning committee and @cleidy30543424 for putting on this amazing event

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
