Investigations were made on the admitted patients with complete quadriplegics while patients were on supine and on elevated position with and without applying abdominal bandage respectively.Clinical data including blood pressure, puls rate, respiratory rate, blood gass analysis were examined on each condition.The data showed tachycardia, hyperventilation, marked hypotension, increased PO2 and decreased PCO2 on the patients standing without abdominal bandage as compared with patients on lying position. The data of patients applying abdominal bandage were in between them.The results suggest there may be some regulation to enhance more efficient gaseous exchange other than decreasing vascular resistance to maintain circulatory volume in the brain of these patients who can remain in consciousness during marked hypotension.
