Abstract

Syncope is defined as a transient, self-limiting loss of consciousness, with loss of postural tone and spontaneous recovery. Syncope has numerous potential causes ranging from benign to life threatening conditions. Vasovagal syncope accounts for 10-40% of all syncope patients. Vazovagal syncope is a benign emergent condition that is usually self-limited and has spontaneous recovery without any medication. Herein we present a patient with vasovagal syncope that needed medical treatment with atropine in our emergency service.

Özet

Senkop postüral tonusun kaybı ile birlikte görülen kendini sınırlayan geçici bilinç kaybı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Senkopun iyi huylu durumlardan yaşamı tehdit eden hastalıklara kadar değişen sayısız nedeni olduğu bilinmektedir. Senkop hastalarının %10-40’ını vazovagal senkop oluşturmaktadır. Vazovagal senkop acil servislerde sık görülen çoğunlukla iyi seyirli, kendiliğinden düzelen bir durumdur. Bu yazıda acil serviste atropin uygulaması ile düzelen vazovagal senkop olgusu sunuldu.
