Abstract
The Clinical Practice Committee of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine endorses the clinical practice guideline New clinical guidelines on the spinal stabilisation of adult trauma patients-consensus and evidence based. The guideline can serve as a useful decision aid for clinicians caring for patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. However, it is important to acknowledge that the overall certainty of evidence supporting the guideline recommendations was low, implying that further research is likely to have an important impact on the confidence in the estimate of effect.
Highlights
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), relatively rare, can lead to serious and permanent disability.[1]
The immediate treatment of patients suspected of having TSCI includes swift and careful prehospital management and transportation to definitive care
It was decided by the Clinical practice committee (CPC) of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) to assess the clinical practice guideline New clinical guidelines on the spinal stabilisation of adult trauma patients—consensus and evidence based[5] for possible endorsement
Summary
Traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI), relatively rare, can lead to serious and permanent disability.[1]. A Danish interdisciplinary working group systematically searched the existing literature, summarised the available evidence, and provided guidance on the prehospital procedures for spinal stabilisation of adult trauma patients.[8]. It was decided by the Clinical practice committee (CPC) of the Scandinavian Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine (SSAI) to assess the clinical practice guideline New clinical guidelines on the spinal stabilisation of adult trauma patients—consensus and evidence based[5] for possible endorsement. The breakdown of the individual appraisers (de-identified) is available in the Data S1
