Conditions
Interventions
Early Surgical Decompression
it will be defined as the surgical decompression performed within 24 hours of injury. It will be performed among all the patients who presented within 24 hours of injury.
Delayed Surgical Decompression
It will be defined as the surgical decompression performed after 24 hours of spinal cord injury. It will be performed among all the patients who needed it due to medical optimization (such as hemodynamically unstable, shock, pulmonary contusions, cerebrovascular destabilization etc.) or those who will present after 24 hours of injury due to logistical delay.
