fracturesshouldbeimmobilizedassoonaspossibletolimitmovementand pain.Thetimingofoperativefixationwilldependonthepatient’sinjury burdenandhemodynamicstability.Communicationbetweenallteamsis importantforprioritizingfracturefixation. External:Anyopenwoundassociatedwitharterialhemorrhageor abnormalitiesinclotting(i.e.,anticoagulants)canresultinsignificantblood lossandthereforetraumaticshock.Dependingonthescenario,direct pressure,woundpacking,tourniquets,orwhipstitchingshouldbeutilized tohelpcontrolthisbleeding.
Afteranassessmentforhemorrhagicshock,othertypesofshockshouldbe entertainedinthetraumapatientpresentingwithhemodynamicinstability.More commoncausesincludethefollowing:
Neurogenicshock:Thosepatientspresentingwithhighspinalcordinjuries willlosesympathetictone,resultinginaninabilitytorespondwithnormal “fightorflight”actionsofthebody.Inadditiontothecluesofparalysis, thesepatientswillnotbeabletomountatachycardicresponseandwill havehypotensionalongwithanormalorlowheartrate.Althoughthefull examinationofthepatientwithanSCIisoutofthescopeofthischapter,it willprovideseveralcluestothisentity.Paralysisisthemostlikelyfinding butinthealteredorunresponsivepatient,thismightbedifficultto ascertain.Itmustalsoberecognizedthatitisnotuncommonforatrauma patienttopresentwithtwoformsofshock(i.e.,hemorrhagicand neurogenic).Onceidentified,initialtreatmentforpatientswithneurogenic shockincludeensuringadequatehydrationandprovidinganalphaagentto assistinprovidingvasculartone(seeChapter12). Other:Occasionally,thetraumapatientwillhaveanantecedentproblem thatprecipitatesthetrauma: Cardiogenicshock:Oftencausedbyamyocardialinfarction,failureofthe hearttodeliverappropriateflowtotherestofthebodyneedstobea consideration,especiallyintheelderlyorthosewithsignificant comorbidities.Onceunderconsideration,theworkupincludesECG, cardiacenzymes,andechocardiogramalongwithpromptcardiology consultation.Optionsforimmediatetherapyincludeensuringadequate hydrationandtheuseofinotropes. Septicshock:Anuntreatedorsevereinfectioncanresultinsepticshock.
Althoughnotthemostlikelycauseofshockinthetraumapatient,itshould beconsideredwhenthemorecommonetiologiesofshockareruledout. Clueswithregardtoisolatedsepticshockaretemperatureextremes,warm extremities,andobviousexternalsourcesorrecenthistoryof illness/infection.Thesepatientsshouldhaveculturesofblood,urine,and respiratoryfluidsentpriortothepromptinitiationofantibioticsandsource control.
CONCLUSION
Thepatientwho sustainstraumaticinjuryneedstobeevaluated asrapidly and thoroughly as possible. A mature healthcare system will provide seamless evaluationand intervention from the timeofinjurythroughout hospitalization. Thetraumaevaluation,basedontheATLSprinciplesofidentifyingandtreating life-threateninginjury,followedbyacomprehensiveexamination,willensureall injurieswillbe identified.Inthosepatientspresentinginshock, theteammust identify the source quickly and begin treatment in order to ensure positive outcomes.

BeverlyHon,JingWang,PeterYonclas,andSteven Kirshblum
INTRODUCTION
Eachyear,anestimated17,500newcasesofacutetraumaticspinalcordinjuries (SCIs)occur in theUnitedStates (1). ManagementofacuteSCI begins in the fieldimmediatelyfollowinginjury.Mortalityatthetimeofinitialinjuryranges from48%to79%withanadditional4.4%to16%ofdeathsoccurringpriorto hospitaldischarge(2). Aggressive monitoring of acute SCI in the criticalcare settingisassociatedwithimprovedmorbidityandmortality(2).
Fromacriticalcarestandpoint,themainobjectiveimmediatelyfollowinga traumaticeventis medical stabilization. From a rehabilitation perspective, this period is also vital for implementationof time-sensitiveinterventions that can limitsecondaryinjuryandpreventorminimizecomplications.Thescopeofthis chapter is to discuss the early interventions for individuals who sustain a traumaticSCI.Thisincludestheearlyprehospitalmanagement;initialcareupon arrival to the hospital including neuroprotective agents and rapid neurological examination;andlastly,asystem-basedreviewofSCIissuesencounteredduring theacutephaseofinjury.
INFIELDMANAGEMENT
AcuteairwaymanagementfortraumaticSCIbeginsatthesceneofinjury.Upon initialtriageofthescene,evaluationandestablishmentofasecureairwayand breathingisapriority.Adefinitiveairwayisindicatedinapatientwith altered mentationorwithcompromisedphonation.Inpersonswithsuspectedorknown injury to the cervical spine, providers should perform endotracheal intubation with rapid sequence induction along with application of cricoid pressure and maintenance of manual inline spine stabilization (3). Individuals with high cervical lesions (above C3) suffer from paralysis of the diaphragm, the major inspiratorymuscle(innervatedC3–C5),andexpiratorymuscles(innervatedT5– T12),often necessitatingimmediate intubation(4).Once adefinitive airwayis established,oxygenation andventilationare monitoredandsupplemental high­concentrationoxygen with or without bag-mask ventilation can be initiated as needed (5). Early management is based on the Advanced Trauma and Life Support(ATLS)protocols,whicharediscussedingreaterdetailinChapter10.
Aftersecuring an airway and regulating breathing, ATLS providers should alsoidentifyandinitiateresuscitationofcirculationifcompromiseis apparent. Shock results in decreased perfusion to tissues, leading to cellular injury and tissue damage. In persons suspected of traumatic SCI, hypotension should be assumedsecondarytohypovolemiaorhemorrhageuntilotherwiseexcluded(6). Initial management of shock is centered on volume resuscitation with intravenous(IV) fluids. Standard ATLSprotocol calls forbolusofcrystalloids followed by colloids through large-bore peripheral IV or central access if available(5).
CervicalstabilizationinindividualswithpotentialSCIisanimportantpartof infield management. When the mechanism of injury raises concern for SCI, ATLS protocol calls for early cervical spine stabilization at the scene (5). Additionally, clinical symptoms or signs predictive of cervical spinal injury include change in mental status, spinal pain or tenderness, presence of intoxication, focal neurological deficit, or distracting painful injury (3–7). In individuals with suspected SCI, the Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) on early acute management specifically recommends the use of a rigid cervical collar and supportive blocks on a backboardwithstrapstosecuretheentirespine(3).Usingthelogrolltechnique, multiple providers should assist in transferring, repositioning, and turning the patienttomaintainspinalalignmentduringearlyprehospitalmanagement(3,5).
Rapid neurological examination as part of the triage process by either emergency responders or upon arrival to the hospital may offer valuable information on the status of the spinal cord. Early detection of SCI may influencewhetherthepatientisbroughttoatraumacenterwithspinespecialists andcanfacilitateearlyinitiationofspinalcord–directedtherapies.Oneclinical assessmentthatcanbeemployedbyearlyresponders isthe SPinalEmergency Evaluation of Deficits (SPEED) test,which has been validatedretrospectively andfoundtobecapableofrapidlydeterminingtheseverityand levelofinjury (8).Basedonthisexamination,injuryseverityandmotorcompletenessofinjury can be assessed through a combination of ankle movement and light touch sensationatS1.Additionally,impairedgripstrengthalongwithpositivepainin thecervicalspinecanaccuratelypredictacervicallevelinjury.
The mechanical forces that can cause an SCI can also lead to concurrent traumaticbrain injury(TBI). IncidenceofTBI in theSCI population hasbeen estimated to be between 25% and 74% (9,10). Risk factors associated with a concomitantTBIincludecompleteneurologicalinjury,cervicallevelofSCI,and alcoholintoxicationattimeofinjury(10).InitialevaluationofpersonswithSCI shouldthereforeincludeassessmentforTBI.TheGlasgowComaScale(GCS)is commonlyusedtoidentifythepresenceofTBIandcharacterizetheseverityof injury.InitialGCSshouldbeobtainedaspartofinfieldmanagement.
IMMEDIATEHOSPITALIZATIONPERIOD InitialTriage
Upon arrival to the trauma bay or emergency room (ER), individuals should undergo immediate assessment for SCI. For individuals who did not require immediateintubation and mechanical ventilation, providers should continueto monitor the respiratory status carefully. For instance, while a patient with an injury below C6 may not initially present with significant respiratory compromise at the scene of injury due to preserved diaphragm function, respiratorydeclinecan occursecondary toimpairmentofrespiratoryaccessory muscles,includingtheclavicularheadofthepectoralismajor(innervatedbythe C5–C7 spinal nerves), and intercostals/abdominal muscles (innervated at each thoraciclevel).Initialpulmonaryassessmentshouldincludeimagingwithchest radiographs and arterial blood gas (ABG) (11). Early elective intubation may prevent progression into respiratory failure in at-risk populations. A more
detailed discussion of intubation can be found in the following respiratory section.
Ideally, pressure injury prevention should begin as early as the ER. Individualsshouldberemovedfromarigidbackboardassoonaspossibleafter initial spine stabilization and transferred to a firm padded surface while maintaining spinal and skin precautions (3). Cervical spine stabilization is maintained until more complete neurologicaland radiographic assessment can be completed after initial resuscitation efforts. Cervical spinal clearance is completed by the trauma team based on clinical and radiographic findings as discussed further. Approaches to and timing of surgical stabilization are discussedinChapter13.
Often,thediagnosisofSCImaybedelayedduetoemergentmanagementof othermorelife-threateninginjuries.Asmentionedearlier,theSPEEDtestcanbe usedforrapidassessmentforseverityandlevelofinjuryintheERsetting(8). Interventionssuch as intubationorsedation can limit anindividual’s ability to participatein a neurological examinationdueto impaired cognitive status.For persons unable to complete a full neurological examination in the ER due to cognition or medical stability,a more comprehensive neurological assessment canbecompletedinthecriticalcareunitoncethepatientisclinicallystableand able to participate in the full International Standards for Neurological Classification of SCI (ISNCSCI) examination (see clinical assessment section below)todeterminethelevelandseverityoftheinjury.
Shock
Inthe ERortrauma bay,close monitoringandmanagement ofhypotensionto maintainsufficienttissueperfusionandresolveshockinpersonswithSCIisan important goal of initial resuscitation efforts. The most recent Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine CPG and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) recommendmonitoringandmaintenanceofmeanarterialpressure(MAP)above 85 mmHg for a minimum of 7 days after injury (3,12). Neurologically, the purposeof regulation of MAPis to ensureadequatespinal cord perfusion and hopefullyreducesecondaryinjury.Spinalcordperfusionpressure(SCPP)canbe calculatedbytakingthedifferencebetweenMAPandintraspinalpressure(ISP). Morerecently,directmeasurementof ISPvia an intraduralpressureprobe has beendemonstratedtobesafeintheacutesetting(13).Careteamsshouldapplya comprehensive approach toward both discovering the etiology of acute
hemodynamicinstabilityaswellasinstitutingappropriatetreatmentinresponse to findings. After atraumatic event, hypotension may be secondary to one or moreofthefollowing:hypovolemicshock,cardiogenicshock,or septicshock. Morespecific topersonswith SCI, spinalshock and/or neurogenicshock may alsobepresentandwillbethefocusofourdiscussion(3).
Spinalshockisdefinedastransientdepressionandeventualreturnofspinal reflexescaudaltolevelofSCI(14).Inonemodelofspinalshockproposedby Ditunnoetal.,thefourphasesofspinalshockconsistofareflexia/hyporeflexia thatlasts0–1day,initialreflexreturnthatlasts1–3days,earlyhyperreflexiathat lasts1–4weeks,andlatehyperreflexiathatlasts1–2months(14).
Neurogenic shock develops due to the loss of all sympathetic and parasympathetic tone caudal to neurological level of injury. Incidence of neurogenicshockincervicalSCIandthoracicSCIhasbeenestimatedbetween 13%and29%(15–19)and 5.5%and 7%,respectively(17,18).Incervical and thoracic injuries, impairment of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) outflow results in a rapid drop in peripheral resistance and blood pressure with subsequentpoolingofbloodintheperipheralvasculature.Althoughthecranial portionoftheparasympatheticnervoussystem(PNS)outflowisunaffectedand unopposed,PNStoneintheentericvascularsystemaccentuateshypotension.In the heart, impaired SNS outflow results in the absence of a physiological chronotropicandionotropicresponsetohypotension,whileintactPNSoutflow throughthevagusnervecanleadtoparadoxicalbradycardia.Inthedermis,loss ofSNS tone and resultant vasodilation leads to temperature dysregulation and hypothermia. This cascade of acute physiologic changes accounts for the defining clinical features of neurogenic shock: hypotension, bradycardia, and hypothermia.Whiletherearenodirecttreatmentsforneurogenicshock,clinical managementofthesignsandsymptomsofneurogenicshockisoftenthefocus of early acute management of SCI and is vital to prevent further secondary injuryduetoitsimpactonneurorecoveryandprognosis.Durationofneurogenic shockhasbeenshowntolastupto5weeks(20).
The first step in management for shock is fluid resuscitation through administrationofIVfluidstoensureadequateintravascularvolume.Regarding management of neurogenic shock, excessive fluid replacement without addressing peripheral vascular tone can lead to pulmonary edema and third spacing. Early initiation of vasopressors is important in the treatment of neurogenicshock.TheConsortiumofSpinalCordMedicineCPGcurrentlydoes notincludeaclearguidelineontheamountofvolumeresuscitationortimingfor
vasopressorinitiation(3). While lactateand basedeficitlevels canserve asan indication for appropriate resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock, their utility in neurogenic shock has not been studied. In addition, urinary output, central venous pressure, or echocardiogram/inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasonography may also provide further insight into the adequacy of neurogenic shock management,butnoknownformalstudiesexistatthistime.
Inaprospectivestudy,Levietal.maintainedMAPgreaterthan90mmHgin 50acuteSCIpatientsthroughfluidresuscitationanddopaminefor1weekpost­injury. At the 6-week follow-up, 82% of the patients demonstrated stable or improvedspinalcordclassificationgradeusingtheFrankelgradingsystem.The authors concluded that aggressive MAPgoals in acute SCI were safe (21). In anotherprospectivestudybyValeetal.,64patientswithcervicalorthoracicSCI were managed with volume resuscitation and vasopressors if necessary to maintainMAPgreaterthan85mmHg(22).Whenlookingat1-year follow-up, improvementby at least one ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS)gradewasseen in 60% of complete cervical SCI and 33% of complete thoracic SCI (22). In incomplete SCI, the authors reported significant gains in ambulation, bowel function, and bladder function (22). While the current Consortium of Spinal CordMedicineCPG andCNS guidelinesrecommendMAPmaintenanceforat least7days,severalstudiesdemonstratedgoodneurologicrecoveryasmeasured byAIS/Frankelgradewithjust5daysofMAPmaintenance(3,12,23–27).
Withregardtovasopressorchoice,theConsortiumforSpinalCordMedicine CPGbroadlyrecommendstheuseofdopamineandnorepinephrineforcervical andhighthoracic-levelinjuriesduetotheiralphaandbetaadrenergiceffectson the vasculature and heart. Phenylephrine, a pure vasoconstrictor, is recommended for lower thoracic injuries where the SNS tone to the heart is morelikelytobepreservedandhypotensionislargelydueto vasodilation(3). Historically, dopamine had been the most widely used vasopressor (28). However, Readdy et al. recently demonstrated that dopamine was associated withahigherrateofcardiaccomplicationsthanwithphenylephrineinacuteSCI (29).In another studyofacute traumatic centralcordsyndrome, Readdy etal. demonstratedindividualsolderthan55yearsold(90.0%)sufferedsignificantly morevasopressorassociatedcomplicationsthanthoseyoungerthan55yearsold (57.1%).Furthermore,dopaminewasassociatedwithfivefoldincreasedoddsof complications compared to phenylephrine in persons older than 55 years old (30). Similarly, Inoue et al. demonstrated that vasopressor administration was significantly associated with cardiac complications in persons older than 60
years(26). Finally,a study byAltaf et al. discovered that norepinephrinewas moreeffectiveatincreasingSCPPwhencomparedtodopamine(67mmHgvs. 65 mmHg, respectively) (31). These factors suggest that the choice of vasopressor used during management of neurogenic shock should be further individualizedbasedonageandlevelofinjury.
EXAMINATION RadiographicAssessment
Once the patient is medically stabilized, providers should proceed with radiographicassessmenttoconfirmdefinitiveinjurytothespinalcordandaxial skeleton. Determination if there is a cervical spine injury will help guide duration for cervical immobilization and need for surgical management. The current American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and CNS guidelines from 2013 do not recommend radiographic evaluation prior to discontinuationof cervicalimmobilizationin persons whoareboth awakeand asymptomatic (free of neck painand neurological deficits) (32). In an awake, symptomatic patient, high-quality computed tomography (CT) of the cervical spine is the preferred method of initial imaging (32). Previously,in the 2002 versionoftheANNS/CNSguidelines,3-view(anteroposterior,lateral,odontoid) x-ray(XR)hadbeenrecommendedasthefirst-lineimagingforthispopulation with CT supplementation as needed. However, CT is currently recommended overXR;asCTdemonstratessuperiorsensitivityinthedetectionofSCIandis morereadily available in traumacentersthan in the past(33–36).Forpersons with confirmed cervical spine injury, the current Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine CPG recommends imaging of the entire spine to rule out any concurrentthoracicorlumbarinjuries(3).
Additional imaging is also indicated when a patient’s symptoms and/or physicalexaminationdonotcorrelatewithinitialimagingfindings.Inapatient with a negative CT report who continues to endorse pain or demonstrate neurologicaldeficits,furtherimagingwithmagneticresonanceimaging(MRI) shouldbe obtained. Similarly, in the obtundedpatientwith negative initialCT findings,follow-upMRIisrecommendedifahighsuspicionofSCIexistsbased onthemechanismofinjuryorclinicalpresentation.
As mentioned earlier, advanced imaging with MRI is indicated when patient’s symptoms do not correlate with initial CT or XR findings. MRI
