Abstract

Respiratory complications are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality during the acute and chronic phases after spinal cord injury (SCI). This article reviews the respiratory impairments resulting from SCI and discusses a range of management strategies to be considered from the acute care phase through long-term follow up. The treatment of specific complications and preventive measures are reviewed.
