Explanation / Answer

1) Spinal cord injury patients should be carefully monitored and prevention of secondary injury is critical to future quality of life. Rapid sequence intubation is recomended. Should not sit patients up with acute high-thoracic SCI.

Spinal cord injury patients breathe better lying flat . Doctor and staff nurse should try to prevent avoidable complications. They should consider thromboprophylaxis, gastroprotection, and pressure area care (remove spinal board as soon as possible).

2. What is Cushing’s Triad?

Cushing’s Triad is a set of three primary signs that usually show an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP).

These signs are mentioned below

1. A change in respirations, often irregular and deep, such as cheyne stokes

2. A widening pulse pressure (the difference between the Systolic and the Diastolic BP)

3. Bradycardia (slow heart rate).

3)What is the normal range for ICP?

normal range for ICP is 7–15 mmHg for a supine adult

4. What is the normal range for CCP?

Negative: less than 20.0 U

Weak positive: 20.0-39.9 U

Positive: 40-59.9 U

Strong positive: 60.0 U or higher
