Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure Dynamics as a Bedside Test in Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury to Assess Surgical Spinal Cord Decompression: Safety, Feasibility, and Proof-of-Concept.

Comprehensive bedside lumbar CSFP dynamics in SCI following decompression are safe, feasible, and can reveal distinct patterns of residual spinal cord compression. Longitudinal studies are required to define critical thresholds of impaired CSFP dynamics that may impact neurological recovery and requiring surgical revisions.
