Abstract
|
|
|
|
Multimodal approach to the patient is essential in neurocritical care for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. This article highlights the issues regarding early stage neurointensive care for SCI. Although there are still some debate regarding the optimal neurointensive care in SCI patients, it is clear by previous literature that proper medical and surgical management play important role for neurocritical care in SCI patients. Not only neurologica problems but also several life threatening medical issues such as DVT, PE, respiration problems or pressure sores should also be considered during the early neurointensive care in order to optimize treatment for SCI patients. By understanding the early role of neurointensive care in SCI, we believe we can better treat these patients.
