“…Other centers within the zone will treat isolated thoracic or lumbar spine trauma both operatively and nonoperatively, but no other regional center treats SCI. Most studies report a lower incidence of SCI with thoracic and lumbar traumas between 10% and 25%, whereas we report a rate of 36% among our patient groups [16,17].…”

“…Respiratory dysfunction is the most widely reported complication following cervical SCI in the literature [36][37][38][39][40]. Following cervical SCI, respiratory compromise occurs as a result of primary ventilatory insufficiency from denervation which results in diaphragmatic and chest wall dysfunction as well as impaired cough [39,40].…”

“…Following cervical SCI, respiratory compromise occurs as a result of primary ventilatory insufficiency from denervation which results in diaphragmatic and chest wall dysfunction as well as impaired cough [39,40]. Respiratory function is further compromised by high rates of pneumonia, atelectasis, and pulmonary embolism [34,36,37,39,41]. Respiratory ''complications'' have been reported to occur in as few as 23% to as many as 80% of patients with acute traumatic cervical SCI [34,36,[41][42][43][44].…”
