Spinal injury was common in T12~L1, followed by C1~2, C5~7, but there are about 20% spinal injury are multiple vertebral fractures. In addition to vertebral fractures, spinal injury is often associated with combined injury of accessory fracture, ligament rupture, etc. If associated with spinal cord injury, it may cause paraplegia. The purpose of this paper is to explore the nursing measures of traumatic spinal injury. In this paper, 134 cases of spinal injury patients adopted nursing measures were summarized. Results showed that among the 33 cases of type I patients, there was no case died in the emergency department or with increased neurological damage. There was also no case with aggravated neurological damage in 31 cases of type II patients, and finally smooth admission. In the 21 patients with type III, 7 patients had poor spine stability, and had a certain tendency of neurological damage, and then transferred to the department of orthopedics. 5 cases had delayed neurological symptoms and transferred to the department of orthopedics. The other 5 cases had no abnormal changes over 3 days observation and went home to conduct conservative treatment and got better results.
