como jj, sutton erh, mccunn m, et al. characterizing the need for mechanical ventilation following cervical spinal cord injury with neurologic deficit. j trauma acute care surg 2005; 59: 912–916.

Answer 1

Particularly for individuals with high full C-SCI, definitive airway control, tracheostomy, and ventilator reliance are crucial. Based on these findings, we advise patients with complete C-SCI—especially those with levels of C5 and higher—to consider early intubation and tracheostomy.

What is the spinal cord?

The spinal cord is a long, tube-shaped ring of tissue. It connects your lower back and brain. The spinal cord acts as a conduit for nerve signals traveling from the brain to the body. These nerve transmissions allow you to feel things and move your body. Any spinal cord damage can make it difficult for you to move or carry out other tasks.

The Spinal Cord's Main Functions:

• Communicating electrochemically. Different body parts can communicate with the brain by transmitting electrical impulses as they move up and down the spinal cord and through nerves.
• Walking.
• Reflexes.
