Prehospital Care - When Urgent Medical Attention Saves Lives

Prehospital Care - When Urgent Medical Attention Saves Lives

The medical services given to a person who urgently needs it before and while he/she gets taken to a hospital is called prehospital care. In the 18th century, a military physician thought that soldiers needed immediate medical care while in the battleground. He also introduced what became known that time as the “flying ambulance.”

Quadriplegia - Causes Paralysis From The Neck Down To Trunk, Arms, And Legs

Quadriplegia - Causes Paralysis From The Neck Down To Trunk, Arms, And Legs

Tetraplegia paralysis, commonly referred to as quadriplegia, affects all four limbs. The majority of tetraplegia suffer from severe paralysis below the neck, and many are entirely immobile. An injury high up in the spinal cord, generally in the cervical spine between C1 and C7, is frequently the cause of this type of paralysis. The extent of the damage will increase with the severity of the injury.

Spinal Cord Shock - An Altered Physiologic State After A Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal Cord Shock - An Altered Physiologic State After A Spinal Cord Injury

The physical, social, and occupational well-being of patients is severely impacted by traumatic spinal cord shock or injury (SCI). As the demography of SCIs changes, a greater percentage of elderly people are becoming afflicted. According to pathophysiology, the first mechanical trauma (the main injury) permeabilizes neurons and glia and starts a secondary injury cascade, which over the following weeks causes progressive cell death and spinal cord degeneration.

Treatment Of Spinal Cord Injury - Removing Entrapped Fluid Or Tissue

Unfortunately, there are currently no recognized methods for the treatment of spinal cord injury. The development of novel therapies, including prostheses and drugs, to aid in the regeneration of nerve cells or to enhance the functionality of residual nerves following a spinal cord injury is ongoing. Currently, SCI therapy focuses on avoiding more harm and giving SCI patients the tools they need to lead the treatment of spinal cord injury. In most cases, emergency personnel.

Pressure Sores In Spinal Cord Injury - How They Impact Quality Of Life For People With Spinal Cord Injury

Pressure Sores In Spinal Cord Injury - How They Impact Quality Of Life For People With Spinal Cord Injury

Loss of blood supply to a region of the skin or underlying tissue (muscle, bone) causes pressure sores in spinal cord injury, also known as a pressure ulcer, decubitus ulcer, decubiti (plural), bedsore, or skin disintegration. Skin that receives enough blood supply remains vibrant and healthy. The skin cannot survive without a supply of blood.

Complete Versus Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries - What's The Difference?

Complete Versus Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries - What's The Difference?

Complete spinal cord injuries result in a wholly severed spinal cord and the loss of all function below the damaged site. Complete versus incomplete spinal cord injuries both are different as opposed to full SCIs, incomplete SCIs happen when the spinal cord is crushed. Hurt but the brain's capacity to transmit signals below the damage site is still there. The most diverse kind of spinal cord injury, incomplete SCIs, makes up more than 65% of all spinal cord-related injuries.

Autonomic Dysreflexia - What Is It? Symptoms, Treatment, And Prevention

Autonomic Dysreflexia - What Is It? Symptoms, Treatment, And Prevention

Anyone with a spinal cord injury above the T6 level is at risk for developing autonomic dysreflexia (AD). It's connected to broken connections between the injured area and the body parts that regulate blood pressure and heart function. It raises blood pressure to unsafe heights. Many different factors may trigger autonomic dysreflexia. For full bladders, bladder infections, severe constipation, and pressure sores are the most prevalent reasons.
