Role of ACCESsory Muscles in Mechanically Ventilated Patients After Spinal Cord Injury and Trauma: a Physiological Study - The ACCESSIT Study
The study is designed to characterize and monitor the structure, degree of activation and function of the different respiratory muscles during mechanical ventilation after spine trauma and spinal cord injury.
Inclusion: Presence of traumatic spine lesion (with and without spinal cord injury); Requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, via oro-tracheal or tracheostomy tube,; 16 years of age or older; Patient or substitute decision maker able to provide consent.
