Spinal cord injury: a comprehensive review
Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in multiorgan system dysfunction. Previously, SCI portended reduced survival and diminished quality of life. However, with increasing awareness and advances in the management of complications from SCI, individuals are living longer and more satisfying lives. This article summarizes major interventions and advances in the management of patients who have SCI. Fundamental principles of SCI are reviewed by organ system and key points are highlighted.
