Abstract: The incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is increasing year by year, and the prognosis of the patients is poor, resulting in seriously deteriorating the health and quality of life. The pathophysiological mechanism of TSCI is complex, and its clinical treatment is not very effective. Although the surgical decompression is an effective treatment for most TSCI patients, the occurrence of relevant complications during the therapeutic period may hinder their treatment and recovery course, thus an individualized treatment plan is necessary to be formulated. Fully understanding the occurrence of various complications in intensive care period of patients with TSCI is beneficial to their treatment. To explore new drugs and therapies may provide references to the TSCI intensive care treatment and its further basic and clinical research.
