I am working on a careplan-having brain fart, (C3-C4 cervical Spinal injury)

Does anyone know where I can find information for this type of injury?

I googled it and can't seem to find really good details on this.

Please help:heartbeat

Here are 2 really simple PDF files that will be useful: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/tutorials/spinalcordinjury/nr259102.pdf

This is basically a care plan for SCI: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3689/is_200307/ai_n9256847

With C-3 to C-4 injuries your main concern is respiratory paralysis due to loss of innervation of the diaphragm. Patients need ventilator assistance to breathe.

Good luck on your care plan.
