Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) present distinct physiological and social
considerations for the emergency physician. During the COVID-19 pandemic, these
considerations may generate unique challenges for emergency physicians managing
patients with SCIs. Physiological disruptions may alter the way SCI patients
present with COVID-19. The same disruptions can affect management of this
vulnerable patient group, perhaps warranting early aggressive treatment. The
medical picture will often be complicated by unique social characteristics. The
reliance on caregivers for activities of daily living can, as an example,
increase the human resource requirement of an ED. Considering the vulnerabilities
and complexities of patients with SCI, the community should prioritise prevention
of COVID-19 infections in this group. In the event that they do present to an ED,
planning for and understanding their complexities will facilitate optimal
management.
