What Causes Spinal Cord Injury at Ohio Military & VA Hospitals?
-
Surgical Errors During Spinal Procedures: Surgeons can damage the spine during fusion, laminectomy, or other back surgeries. Common errors include poor decompression, nerve damage, wrong screw placement, and bad alignment.
-
Delayed Diagnosis of Spinal Cord Compression: Doctors must quickly spot and treat conditions compressing the spine. They should order MRI tests quickly when patients show warning signs.
-
Improper Patient Positioning During Surgery: Bad positioning during surgery can hurt the spine. Staff must use proper padding and check positions regularly.
-
Medication Errors Affecting Spinal Function: Wrong doses or injection methods can harm the spine. These mistakes break safety rules and can cause permanent damage.
-
Failure to Stabilize Trauma Patients: ER doctors must properly stabilize spine injury patients. Poor handling can turn partial injuries into complete paralysis.
-
Negligent Post-Operative Monitoring: Staff must watch for and treat complications quickly. Slow responses to problems can cause permanent damage.
