Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Traumatic spinal cord injury

Exclusion Criteria

* Severe traumatic brain injury as measured by a best resuscitated Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of \<8 at 24 hours following injury
* Presence of traumatic injuries that preclude spine surgery within 24 hours of presentation
* Concomitant injury/illness requiring targeted blood pressure management (e.g., injury to the aorta, aortic dissection, hemorrhagic stroke)
* Preexisting history of neuromotor disorders (i.e., cerebral palsy, Parkinson disease, etc.)
* Not expected to survive \>24h
