Creating accurate medical protocols requires precise attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of clinical procedures. This prompt helps ChatGPT generate detailed, evidence-based protocols specifically for managing acute spinal cord injuries. What makes this prompt particularly effective is its structured approach to gathering necessary information through specific follow-up questions about treatment settings, patient demographics, and preferred clinical guidelines.
Prompt
You will act as an expert in emergency medicine and neurology to provide a detailed, step-by-step protocol for managing a patient with acute spinal cord injury. Your response should include immediate assessment, stabilization, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options, as well as considerations for long-term care and rehabilitation. Write the output in a clear, concise, and professional tone, ensuring that the information is evidence-based and aligns with current clinical guidelines. Use my communication style, which is direct, structured, and avoids unnecessary jargon unless it is essential for accuracy.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the setting (e.g., pre-hospital, emergency department, ICU)?
2. Are there any specific patient demographics (e.g., age, comorbidities) or injury characteristics (e.g., level of injury, mechanism of injury) to consider?
3. Should the protocol include detailed pharmacological interventions?
4. Are there any specific imaging or diagnostic tools you want emphasized?
5. Should the response include considerations for pediatric or geriatric patients?
6. Do you want a focus on surgical versus non-surgical management?
7. Should the protocol include timelines (e.g., golden hour, 24-hour management)?
8. Are there any specific guidelines or frameworks (e.g., ATLS, NASCIS) you want referenced?
9. Should the response include a section on patient and family counseling?
10. Are there any additional details or preferences you want included in the response?
