PREVENT CERVICAL SPINAL CORD INJURY
INTRODUCTION
Spinal Cord Injury is an alarming
increasing traumatic condition. The
World Health Organization
acknowledges 250-500 thousand
cases each year.1
The health care providers must
implicate in mediatizing the severe
implications of a spinal cord injury
and ensure the awareness of the
general population in order to
prevent accident that can lead to SCI.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The most important thing in preventing spinal
cord injury is knowing the main causes and appeal
to the public to be cautious when implicated in
certain activities.
The most common causes are: auto accidents,
sport accidents, diving, fall from stairs, fall from
wagon, bicycles accidents and falling from a tree.2
In Romania, the major cause for cervical spinal
cord injury is diving in shallow waters, and
members of our Clinic’s Division started a
successful media campaign with a television solo
spot that encouraged the public not to dive in
shallow waters.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONPublicity campaign with the implication of physicians and the media can indeed produce a positive impact
on the general population and consequently prevent imprudent actions which can lead to spinal cord injury.
