Paradoxical breathing video
An animated video aimed at healthcare professionals explaining the mechanism of paradoxical breathing in the spinal shock phase immediately following cervical spinal cord injury. It is a sign that is relatively rare as the incidence of cervical SCI is relatively low, and it only lasts a short time in patients who experience it. However, the consequences can be profound for the patient and so increased awareness of this sign among healthcare professionals could improve outcomes.
This video aims toraise awareness of this phenomenon to enable better recognition and early proactive respiratory support to inform appropriate weaning in centres caring for patients with cervical spinal cord injury.
