“…The optimum mean arterial pressure (MAP) after TSCI is unknown. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons recommends a MAP of 85–90 mmHg for 7 days with little supporting evidence [ 10 ]. In the UK, blood pressure management is variable with 23 % of NICU specialists aiming for MAP >60 mmHg, 54 % >80 mmHg, and 15 % within 20 % of what is considered normal for age [ 3 ].…”

“…After severe TSCI, ISP is typically 20–40 mmHg. Therefore, to achieve SCPP of ~90 mmHg, MAP has to be 110–130 mmHg, which is substantially higher than the MAP of 85–90 mmHg recommended by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons [ 10 ]. Most patients have a cervical injury and are, therefore, hypotensive from damage to the sympathetic pathways.…”

This paper challenges the current management of acute traumatic spinal cord injury based on our experience with monitoring from the injury site in the neurointensive care unit. We argue that the concept of bony decompression is inadequate. The concept of optimum spinal cord perfusion pressure, which differs between patients, is introduced. Such variability suggests individualized patient treatment. Failing to optimize spinal cord perfusion limits the entry of systemically administered drugs into the injured cord. We conclude that monitoring from the injury site helps optimize management and should be subjected to a trial to determine whether it improves outcome.

Robotic resection of an obturator schwannoma with preservation of normal nerve fascicles and function

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An asymptomatic pelvic tumor was incidentally found in a 27-year-old man. A CT-guided needle biopsy with a pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a benign schwannoma. We describe the complete robotic resection with the conservation of normal fascicles. The postoperative course was uneventful. No neurological deficit occurred, and the electromyogram was normal 6 weeks and 7 months later.
