Ep 10 'Current scenario of Spinal Cord Injury services: The need for developing a grading system to standardize the services' - a podcast by ISCoS
from 2020-08-24T23:13:45
Prof Michael Fehlings and Dr Patrick Kluger join Dr Chhabra to discuss the 'Current scenario of Spinal Cord Injury services: The need for developing a grading system to standardize the services' within their regions and globally.
In this episode:
3:50 Q1. What are the existing models of spinal cord injury services?
9:59 Q2. What are the benefits of grading and standardization of SCI units?
12:19 Q3. The German Speaking Medical Society for Paraplegia (DMGP) has standardized and defined the ‘Paraplegic Centre of the DMGP’. Can you share details of the grading and the definition?
15:52 Q4. American College of Surgeons (ACS) has laid down specific criteria for grading trauma centres. Could you elaborate on the salient features of this grading system?
17:57 Q5. DMGP grading was evolved specifically for Germany. Can this be applicable across the globe? If not, can this or the ACS grading of trauma centres be a stepping stone for the larger picture we are looking at?
20:53 Q6. Do you foresee any challenges in developing a single grading system? Do you have any suggestions on how to overcome these challenges?
