Current Management Strategies for Autonomic Dysreflexia
Current bladder dysfunction reports(2018)
摘要
Purpose of ReviewAutonomic dysreflexia (AD) is an acute, imbalanced autonomic response to noxious or visceral stimuli in patients with a spinal cord injury (SCI) above T6. In this review, we provide the clinician with an overview of the prevention, diagnosis, and management of AD.Recent FindingsPractice patterns of physicians that manage AD are shifting. Many practitioners are moving away from use of nifedipine and towards alternate pharmacologic therapies, namely nitrates and analgesics. Additionally, through better awareness of common triggers of AD, anesthetics have helped to prevent many cases of AD that may have previously occurred.SummaryMany pharmacologic interventions are available to the practicing physician; however, more important is a knowledge and understanding of common triggers to avoid as prevention is key.
