The Rehabilitation Trauma Center at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center was founded in 1972 and is part of the only federally designated spinal cord injury center in Northern California. The Center is one of the oldest spinal cord injury neurointensive care units in the United States and participated in the original National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research Database collecting retrospective data to 1973. [1] The Center is currently an eight-bed ICU and known for ventilator weaning after catastrophic neurological injury. [2][3]
The Center is notable for clinical research in cellular therapies for neurological disease. In the first US clinical trial of cellular therapies for spinal cord injury, 40% of the patients in the trial were enrolled through the Rehabilitation Trauma Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.[4] The Center is also a clinical program site in the Stanford Partnership for Spinal Cord Injury and Repair. [5]
The Center is a core teach facility for Stanford residents and fellows in training. Stanford Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residents learn acute care of patients with catastrophic neurological injuries through consultation in the Rehabilitation Trauma Center. [6] The Stanford/VA Advanced Fellowship Program in Advanced Spinal Cord Injury Medicine features the Center as a core training site for the management of acute neurological injury. [7]
