dc.description.abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the respiratory complications of tetraplegic SCI patients at CRP. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to demonstrate the socio-demography among the tetraplegic patients to explore the knowledge of respiratory complication, status of different type of respiratory complication of tetraplegic SCI patients. The study also find about any association in between respiratory complication and gender, ASIA classification scale. Methodology: Cross sectional study design was used to conduct the study where 50 participants with SCI who are tetraplegic patients and take treatment from Centre for the rehabilitation of the paralysed (CRP). The data were collected by using a semi structure questionnaire and analysed by descriptive statistics using percentages, pie chart and bar chart. Result: 50 patients were included as sample. Among them male 94% (n=47) are predominantly higher than female 6% (n=3). Complete-A participants 62 (n=31) are higher and in rural area 68% (n=34) were more affected than the people who lived in urban 32% (n=16) having poor educational status. This study explored respiratory complications of tetraplegic patients of SCI such as participants have complained of cough during day or night 40% (n=20), pneumonia 44% (n=22), Atelectasis 42% (n=21), wheezing 18% (n=9) etc. The mean score of peak flow rate is 226, incentive spirometry rate is 434 and oxygen saturation rate is 96.60. Gender was associated with respiratory complication (pneumonia) which was statistically significant. Conclusion: Respiratory complications are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with SCI. The results of the study find out the people with spinal cord injury who are suffering badly from respiratory complications. It will be helpful to reduce the morbidity and mortality rate due to respiratory complications of SCI. Keywords: Spinal cord injury (SCI), Tetraplegic, Respiratory complications. en_US
