Question on Treatment of Football Player next to Spinal Cord Injury?
I have been reading that the football player with a spinal cord injury be treated with cold fluids to slow the formation of scar tissue. Is this standard practice today? What exactly is the recommended treatment for someone with a potential spinal injury?
Answers: it be actually a very new procedure and one that the nerosurgeons simply learned at a seminar a few weeks earlier, i heard it be developed out of florida and this case was the first time it was used so vigorously (within 10 minutes of accident) im a big bills fan and have been following pretty closely on kevin's condition, its a miracle that someone can sustain a existence threatening spinal cord injury and be moving his limbs 2 days later, i applaud those doctors.
Well to answer your question. This topic is certainly a controversal topic. But currently most neurologists still suggest treatment with high dose steriodial drugs like Solumedrol. The thought being that these drugs will prevent secondary injury to the spinal cord by preventing swelling of the spinal cord and its surrounding tissue. This treatment was shown to be potent by the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury series of studies. But other than that they obviously preform surgical correction of any fractured or dislocated vertebral vertebrae. The standard of care is usually the use of steroids to lessen swelling and inflammation in the acute stages of spinal cord injury followed by surgical stabilization. The use of cold fluids for this purpose is not widespread.
What organs does the spinal cord work near besides the brain?
Massage after spinal fusion?
Stem Cell Research and Spinal Cord Injury?
Would it hurt if you snapped spinal nerves within your lower rear legs?
I own some question nearly Spinal Fusion Surgery...?
