Fantastic to see @NHSGGC randomising into the DISCUS trial. Wonderful news for spinal injury patients. I truly hope that we see positive results.

1/ A very neat pilot study from @DrNTheodore's team (thank you!) and certainly something worth to be investigated as a multicentre trial! Similar concept to the ongoing @DiscusTrial and both may go hand-in-hand. #MorningPaper @e1v1m1 @BASStrainees

Fantastic spinal plenary session at #EANS2022 with update on @DiscusTrial - open for recruitment and vital research for patients who suffer spinal cord injury. @EANSonline50 #neurosurgery

Absolutely! Just trying to demonstrate that however good a paper is, it looks at a generalised population and not individual cases. No 2 cases are the same.
Don't forget medical treatments (MAP>85mmHg).
Also, when it comes to possible cord oedema, randomise into @DiscusTrial!
