Özet

reanimation, emergency, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation departments. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of seven questions, which was completed in a prospective manner by 95 physicians (residents and consultants) in our tertiary care hospital. Results: None of the questions asked in the questionnaire could be replied by 38 (40%) of 95 physicians in the hospital. Only one physician did reply all the questions completely. The mean value of the mark given was 2.00±2.04 for consultants and 1.10±1.37 for residents (p=0.039). Our data showed that while only 27% of the physicians have received training on autonomic dysreflexia; 18% of physicians had a previous experience with patients having autonomic dysreflexia. Conclusion: Taking the potential serious complications of autonomic dysreflexia into account, necessary information on this emergency status should be given to physicians. We believe that to reach a more precise conclusion about awareness of physicians on autonomic dysreflexia, multicenter studies with larger number of participants are certainly necessary.
