Characterizing the need for mechanical ventilation following cervical spinal cord injury with neurologic deficit.
BACKGROUND Patients who sustain cervical spinal cord injury (C-SCI) with neurologic deficit may require a definitive airway and/or prolonged mechanical ventilation. The purpose of this study was to characterize factors associated with a high risk for respiratory failure and/or the need for mechanical ventilation in C-SCI patients. METHODS Patients with C-SCI and neurologic deficit admitted to...

The annual incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury worldwide is estimated to be 35 patients per million. Nonmissile penetrating spinal injuries most commonly occur in the thoracic region, and the majority has neurologic deficits on admission. The management of patients who lack neurologic deficits is controversial due to the risk of neurologic status alteration intraoperatively. However, fail...
متن کاملNeurologic outcome of early versus late surgery for cervical spinal cord injury.
STUDY DESIGN A prospective analysis evaluating neurologic outcome after early versus late surgery for cervical spinal cord trauma. OBJECTIVES The study was conducted to determine whether neurologic and functional outcome is improved in traumatic cervical spinal cord-injured patients (C3-T1, American Spinal Injury Association grades A-D) who had early surgery (<72 hours after spinal cord injur...
متن کاملIatrogenic neurologic deficit after lumbar spine surgery: A review.
Iatrogenic neurologic deficits after lumbar spine surgery are rare complications, but important to recognize and manage. Complications such as radiculopathy, spinal cord compression, motor deficits (i.e. foot drop with L5 radiculopathy), and new onset radiculitis, while uncommon do occur. Attempts at mitigating these complications with the use of neuromonitoring have been successful. Guidance i...
متن کاملLarge Compressive Pseudomeningocele Causing Early Major Neurologic Deficit After Spinal Surgery
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. OBJECTIVES Large compressive pseudomeningocele causing a major neurologic deficit is a very rare complication that is not well described in the existing literature. METHODS Institutional review board consent was obtained to study 2552 consecutive extradural spinal surgical cases performed by a single senior spinal surgeon during a 10-year period. The surge...
