Abstract

In the UK, the annual incidence of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is 19 new cases per million population, contributing to an estimated 50,000 people who are currently living with SCI. Trauma is the most common cause of SCI, predominantly from falls and road traffic accidents. Damage to the spinal cord occurs both at the time of injury (primary) and in its aftermath (secondary). Effectively treating and preventing secondary cord injury, and managing complications associated with SCI, can make a significant improvement to patient outcomes. Improving outcomes in this patient population mean more patients with established SCIs are presenting for routine operations. Anaesthetists should be aware of the unique challenges posed by these patients, both in the acute and chronic settings.

脊髓损伤

在英国，急性脊髓损伤（SCI）的年发病率为每百万人中有19例新病例，目前估计有5万人患有SCI。创伤是脊髓损伤最常见的原因，主要是跌倒和道路交通事故。脊髓损伤既发生在损伤时（原发性），也发生在损伤后（继发性）。有效地治疗和预防继发性脊髓损伤，并管理与脊髓损伤相关的并发症，可以显著改善患者的预后。这一患者群体的预后改善意味着更多已确诊的SCIs患者正在进行常规手术。麻醉师应该意识到这些患者所带来的独特挑战，无论是在急性和慢性设置。
