Most healthcare practitioners have worked with patients with spinal cord injury at some point in their career, for some it is a specialty. The critical care area usually only has patient with spinal cord injury for a brief time before they are transferred. More recently, there are longer intensive care unit stays due to multiple trauma and lack of insurance. Nurses must be cognizant of indications, contraindications, and best practice interventions to contribute positively to patient's long-term outcomes. As part of the multispecialty team, nurses can be pivotal in preventing secondary complications, especially pressure ulcers. Rehabilitation team members can be consulted early to provide expertise in managing this complex diagnostic group.
大多数医疗从业者在其职业生涯的某个阶段都曾与脊髓损伤患者打过交道，对有些人来说这是他们的专业领域。重症监护区通常只会短暂接收脊髓损伤患者，之后就会将他们转走。最近，由于多发伤和缺乏保险，患者在重症监护病房的停留时间变长了。护士必须了解适应症、禁忌症和最佳实践干预措施，以便为患者的长期预后做出积极贡献。作为多专科团队的一员，护士在预防继发性并发症，尤其是压疮方面起着关键作用。可以尽早咨询康复团队成员，以获取管理这一复杂诊断群体的专业知识。
