Interventions

  • Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) goal of ≥65 mmHg — OTHER
    The treatment team will maintain MAP ≥65 mmHg for the first five days following injury.
  • Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) goal of 85-90 mmHg — OTHER
    The treatment team will maintain MAP 85-90 mmHg for the first five days following injury.
  • Spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) goal of ≥65 mmHg — OTHER
    The treatment team will maintain SCPP ≥65 mmHg for the first five days following injury.

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of various hemodynamic management strategies on functional neurologic outcomes and non-neurologic adverse events in the first 5 days following acute spinal cord injury (SCI). The hemodynamic management strategies assessed include targeting a mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) goal of 85-90 mmHg, targeting a spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) goal of ≥65 mmHg, or targeting normal hemodynamics, which is a MAP goal of ≥65 mmHg.
