How should spinal cord injury be treated?

The treatment of spinal injury can be divided into four aspects.

The first aspect is emergency treatment.

The second aspect is drugs,

The third aspect is surgical treatment.

The fourth aspect is the later rehabilitation treatment. Like an emergency. What does that mean? At the scene of the accident, or if the patient is injured in a car accident, first aid should be given at the scene. For example, patients with spinal problems should wear a neck brace to protect the cervical spine, turn over axially, and keep the spine moving in a plane with a flat plate or adhesive tape. This is emergency treatment. Second, drug therapy mainly includes early hormone therapy. Hormone therapy: We usually take hormone therapy within eight hours after injury, and take a large dose of methylprednisolone shock, the first shock, 30 mg per kilogram of body weight in the first hour, and 5.4 mg per kilogram of body weight in the remaining 23 hours for maintenance treatment for 24 hours. The latest recommendation is that the impact of methylprednisolone should be carried out within 3 hours, which means it will last for 24 hours. If the impact of methylprednisolone is carried out within 3 hours to 8 hours, it should last for 48 hours. If the injury lasts more than 8 hours, it is not recommended to use hormone shock, which has no effect.
