ABSTRACT

Spinal cord injuries occur in 1.3% of multiple trauma patients. The most frequent reasons of death in spinal cord injured patients are aspiration and shock. The most important aim in the anesthesia management of the spinal cord injury (SCI) patients is to prevent secondary spinal damage.

In trauma patients, maintaining Airway Breathing Circulation (ABC) is a life saving procedure. In SCI patients, induction of anesthesia, maintenance of airway and anesthesia, stabilization of hemodynamic parameters are important factors affecting mortality and morbidity. In this review, we aimed to investigate the anesthesia management of spinal cord injured patient
