  • Title: Early management of spinal injuries.
    Author: Sypert GW.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 May; 29(5):113-22. PubMed ID: 6731230.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic spinal injuries are a major health problem. Any accident victim suspected of having a spinal injury must be immobilized immediately to prevent further damage to the spine. Management is directed toward achieving the most favorable environment for spinal cord recovery. This includes maintaining adequate oxygenation and blood flow and restoring the integrity of the spinal canal as rapidly as possible.
