Abstract: A spinal cord injury is most traumatic event in life of any individual. It may happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Baseline nursing care knowledge must be taught and should be included in curricula of all health care professionals. Nursing care in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) is mainly intended towards prevention of further injury to spinal cord and complications related to SCI and reducing morbidity. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an insult to the spinal cord resulting in a change, either temporary or permanent, in the cord’s normal motor, sensory, or autonomic function. Majority of the times spinal cord injury is result of vehicular accidents, fall from height, sports injury and assault.
