Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The prognosis in cervical spinal cord injury is poor, and surgical and neurointensive care management need further improvement. Monitoring of the intraspinal pressure (ISP) at an early stage after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is useful clinically. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Obtaining continuous spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) measurements based on the difference between mean arterial pressure and ISP allows offering best medical and surgical treatment during this critical phase of tSCI. A search was carried out with PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar up to January 10, 2017. Articles resulting from these searches and relevant references cited in those articles were reviewed. RESULTS:The optimal SCPP was found to be between 90 and 100 mm Hg and mean arterial pressure of 110-130. Laminectomy alone was found to be ineffective in the reduction of ISP because it does not lower the pressure exerted by dura on the swollen spinal cord. Therefore, bony decompression with durotomy or duroplasty seems to be the procedure of choice to reduce the ISP less than 20 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS:A randomized controlled trial is required to determine whether laminectomy with durotomy and monitoring of ISP with SCPP optimization improve neurological recovery after tSCI.
