Abstract
Pulmonary complications after spinal cord injury are the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the acute period. In this period, more than half of patients develop life threatening respiratory problems such as atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure. The degree of respiratory dysfunction depends on the extent and level of neurological damage, and individuals with high cervical and thoracic lesions are known to have a higher risk. Patients should be comprehensively evaluated for respiratory symptoms. Commonly used techniques to reduce secretions and increase ventilation include postural drainage, percussion, vibration, diaphragmatic breathing, segmental breathing, cough techniques, and aspiration. With the pulmonary rehabilitation approaches applied, it is observed that quality of life improves with the increase in their participation in daily life with the recovery of patients from mechanical ventilation, removal of secretions, strengthening of respiratory muscles, development of cough capacity and increasing ventilation.
Keywords: Spinal cord injury, spirometer, breathing exercises, rehabilitation.
