Spinal Epidural
Hematoma Webinar
An undiagnosed epidural hematoma may result
in devastating permanent injuries - paralysis and
incontinence. The risks are increasing as more surgeries
and procedures, including pain management with epidural
catheters, are being performed and have the potential
for the development of epidural hematomas. Liability
may fall on the shoulders of the nurses and physicians
associated with a failure to diagnose or a delay in
diagnosis of the hematoma. How does this dreaded complication
happen? Two experienced legal nurse consultants explain
the anatomy, risk factors, and the standards of medical
and nursing care related to spinal procedures and
epidural catheters.

Excerpt from
Guy William Fried, MD and Karen Mandzak Fried, MSN,
RN, CRRN, CCM, “Spinal Cord Injury” in
Patricia Iyer (Editor) Medical
Legal Aspects of Pain and Suffering:
Spinal cord injury is one of the
most devastating conditions that can affect the body.
The changes that take place often have a permanent
impact on all aspects of the patient’s life;
physiologically, psychologically, vocationally, socially
and emotionally. Although technology and advances
in medical treatment have had a tremendous impact
on the care and long-term survival of these patients,
the pain and suffering that is endured usually persists
for the rest of their lives. In addition to this,
dual diagnoses and concurrent complications are not
uncommon. Persons who become spinal cord injured may
also experience extensive burns, traumatic brain injury,
multiple fractures and pain, just to name a few. Attorneys
handling spinal cord injury cases are well aware of
the huge damages and long term care involved in these
injuries.
The reason that there is such a
great impact on a patient’s life is because
of the spinal cord’s key functions. The spinal
cord carries all the messages between the brain and
the body. These messages involve all voluntary motion,
breathing, sensation, tone, pain perception, bowel
and bladder control and sexual functioning. Spinal
cord injury leads to a major disruption of this message
system and although the person may survive the injury
itself, his body no longer functions the way it did
before the injury.
