METHOD FOR PREVENTING ISCHEMIA OF SPINAL CORD DUE TO REGULATING HEMODYNAMICS IN PATIENTS WITH AFFECTED SPINAL CORD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC A61B5/484 A61B5/21 

FIELD: medicine, resuscitation.

SUBSTANCE: intensive therapy should be carried out, moreover, it is necessary to register somatosensor evoked potentials (SSEP), measure inter-peak interval N₁₃-N₁₈ at spinal lesions at C₁-C₂ level, N₁₁-N₁₃ at lesion at C₁-C₆ level and N₂₂-C₃₀ at lesions at C₇-L₃ level. Then one should calculate average arterial pressure (AP_av) and prescribe pressure-regulating medicinal preparations. Then comes control SSEP registration and at decreased values of inter-peak intervals one should change the preparation applied and its dosage, at constant level of inter-peak intervals - the dosage should be increased, and at increased values of intervals - one should intensify therapy due to increasing the dosage or substituting the preparation applied. SSEP values should be evaluated after changing the dosage of the preparation applied and in dynamics of investigation on the 3d, 5^th and 9^th d and, also, in case of deterioration of patient's health state. It has been provided due to applying a high-sensitive value that reflects the state of spinal cord.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of prophylaxis.
