  • Look Inside

 The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of mismanaged injury of the cervical spinal cord,to identify factors contributing to a failure to recognize such injury.

 Thirty-three patients with cervical spinal cord injury were transported to emergency department during the period from October,1999 to March,2001. Seven patients (21%) of them were transferred without cervical spine immobilization. Mechanism of injury in 7 patients was fall in 4,motor vehicle crash in 2,unknown in one. Clinical signs on admission revealed neck pain and/or back pain in 4 patients,altered mental status in 4 patients,numbness of extremities in 2 patients,paradoxical respiration in 2 patients,respiratory arrest in one. Neurological classification of Frankel grade was A in 2,B in 1,C in 2,D in 1 and E in 1. All trauma patients with a cervical spine injury or with a mechanism of injury having the potential to cause cervical spine injury should be immobilized at the scene,during transport and at the emergency room by using one of several available methods.
