Trauma Conference Notes-Spine

Posted on by

So real quick, here’s 3 slides I found helpful from Dr. Camilo Castillo’s talk yesterday on spine injury. I’m sure there were others, but here’s 3. Obviously these are his, so if you steal these, please reference him.

Thought this was helpful in thinking about level of disability/independence and what my patient in front of me might be able to do down the road, depending on level of injury.
Not exactly “Emergency” medicine, but hey, who doesn’t need a quick summary of all the meds to make people poop?
Lastly, thought a few of these were interesting in predicting better vs. worse outcomes. Nothing shocking, but interesting from an exam standpoint if you’re assessing some dermatomes.
