The acute cardiopulmonary management of patients with cervical spinal cord injuries.

M anagement of patients with an acute cervical spinal cord injury in an intensive care unit or similar monitored setting is recommended. • Use of cardiac, hemodynamic, and respiratory monitoring devices to detect cardiovascular dysfunction and respiratory insufficiency in patients following acute spinal cord injury is recommended. • Correction of hypotension in spinal cord injury (systolic blood pressure , 90 mm Hg) when possible and as soon as possible is recommended. • Maintenance of mean arterial blood pressure between 85 and 90 mm Hg for the first 7 days following an acute spinal cord injury is recommended.
