Survey for Medical Professionals:
Non-Fatal Strangulation in Pediatric
and Adolescent Patients

Introduction

Question Title

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the National Advisory Board for the Training Institute for Strangulation Prevention, the Pediatric subcommittee needs your input. Recently, the Medical Committee published imaging recommendations for adults. Now it is time to focus our attention on children who are strangled.

At this time, there is a paucity of medical literature to support guidelines or best practice for evaluating pediatric/adolescent patients who have been strangled. We are sending this survey to obtain a sense of current practices of radiologic evaluation of these patients. There are no right answers. We simply want to ascertain how you currently practice.

The survey consists of 12 questions and will take 3 - 5 minutes to complete.
