Paraplegia caused by transverse lesions of the spinal cord above the second thoracic vertebrae is clinically referred to as paraplegia. How long a paraplegic can live needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. 1. If the paraplegic is in good physical condition, and through active rehabilitation training, such as respiratory training, bowel and bladder training, and with proper nursing care, paraplegics can survive for a long time, and it is very common to see patients surviving for more than 10 years, and some of them can even live to a normal life expectancy; 2. If the patient is in poor physical condition, and the nursing care is not proper or bedridden for a long time, and even pressure sores, urinary and fecal infections, and other diseases occur. If the patient is in poor physical condition, poorly cared for or bedridden for a long period of time, without rehabilitation training, or even complications such as pressure sores, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, etc., the survival period of the patient is generally not too long. Therefore, after paraplegic patients, we should focus on daily care, and at the same time, we should do a good job of psychological counseling. 1, encourage more water, weekly replacement of urinary catheters, and daily bladder irrigation; 2, encourage the patient to cough up sputum, do deep breathing, and turn over and pat the back on time to prevent pneumonia; 3, pay attention to warmth, eat a rich diet, improve the nutritional status, and prevent infections; 4, keep the beds flat, dry, and free of folds, and clean the excreta every 2 to 3 days, and keep the beds clean, dry, and free of folds. Clean up excreta, turn over every 2-3 hours, can be combined with massage, improve local blood circulation; 5, in the psychological, family medicine to give companionship, patience, careful guidance, establish a positive state of mind, improve the quality of life.
