Lower respiratory events in seated tracheotomized tetraplegic patients
Aim:
Retrospective study on the changing position impact on respiratory events in 14 rehabilitation tracheotomized tetraplegic patients, during 25 months.
Methods:
Three positions were compared: permanently supine (16 periods), seated on
Results:
Pneumonia and plugging incidences were significantly higher in the permanently supine position than in the seated
Conclusion:
Plugging prevalence was significantly higher in the permanently supine position (53.3%) than in the seated
