About this study
The goal of this feasibility study is to learn about the ability to use a different form of oxygen therapy (known as high flow oxygen therapy) in patients who have a spinal cord injury in the upper back or neck. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is it possible to recruit patients to the study 2. It is possible to follow the protocol in its current format 3. What is the impact on those receiving the intervention. Participants will be randomised to receive either standard care or high flow oxygen therapy for 10 days following inclusion.
