The patient develops myelopathy post-trauma. What dose of methyl prednisolone is to be given?

The most appropriate answer here is 30 mg/kg within 3 hrs. Patients who have a confirmed acute spinal cord injury and have no contraindications for administration of a corticosteroid may be treated with a protocol of methylprednisolone administration consisting of a bolus dose of 30mg/kg body weight administered over 15 minutes, followed by a 45-minute pause, and then a 23 hour continuous infusion of 5.4 mg/kg/h.
