dysreflexia

Rhyme recalled that he was coming by today to check on his patient after the dysreflexia attack.

These treatment are used during obstetric delivery of a woman with autonomic dysreflexia.

No, it wasn't dysreflexia at all-or an anxiety attack.

Autonomic dysreflexia is permanent, and occurs from Phase 4 onwards.

Autonomic dysreflexia is abolished temporarily by spinal or general anaesthesia.

However, they are still used in some emergency situations, such as aortic dissection or autonomic dysreflexia.

The most common cause of hyperreflexia is spinal cord injury (see autonomic dysreflexia).

One concern now facing Paralympic officials is the technique of boosting blood pressure, known as autonomic dysreflexia.

He knew it wasn't dysreflexia.

Boosting is a method of inducing autonomic dysreflexia with the intention of enhancing performance in sport.

See Autonomic dysreflexia.

Autonomic dysreflexia can become chronic and recurrent, often in response to longstanding medical problems like soft tissue ulcers or hemorrhoids.

Another form of doping is "boosting", used by athletes with a spinal cord injury to induce autonomic dysreflexia and increase blood pressure.

Once a person has their first episode of autonomic dysreflexia, the next 7-10 days are critical because there is a high incidence of recurrence within that time.

Autonomic dysreflexia or abnormal increases in blood pressure, sweating, and other autonomic responses to pain or sensory disturbances.

In spinal cord injuries above T6, autonomic dysreflexia may occur, from the loss of autonomic innervation from the brain.

Older patients with very incomplete spinal cord injuries and systolic hypertension without symptoms are usually experiencing essential hypertension, not autonomic dysreflexia.

Proper treatment of autonomic dysreflexia involves administration of anti-hypertensives along with immediate determination and removal of the triggering stimuli.

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), also known as autonomic hyperreflexia, is a potentially life threatening condition which can be considered a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.

The cause of autonomic dysreflexia itself can be life threatening, and must also be completely investigated and treated appropriately to prevent unnecessary morbidity and mortality.

In autonomic dysreflexia, patients will experience hypertension, sweating, and erythema (more likely in upper extremities) and may suffer from headaches and blurred vision.

The Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine has developed evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for the management of autonomic dysreflexia in adults, children, and pregnant women.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: kidney problems, seizures, strokes, mental/mood disorders, a certain nervous system disorder (autonomic dysreflexia).

Other causal theories for Autonomic Dysreflexia include Noxious Stimuli or painful stimuli arising from the peripheral sensory neurons.
