Abstract

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD), is an acute syndrome of uncontrolled sympathetic response, secondary to a precipitant, that generally occurs in patients with injury to the spinal cord at the levels of T6 and above. Recognition of the clinical features is extremely important because, although the condition can nearly always be managed successfully, failure to do so can have dire consequences, including death. In this review we discussed the clinical features, pathophysiology, emergency treatment and prophylaxis of AD.

Özet

Otonomik disrefleksi (OD), presipite edici bir faktöre sekonder, genellikle T6 ve üzeri spinal kord yaralanmalı (SKY) hastalarda meydana gelebilen kontrol edilemeyen aşırı sempatik cevabın akut bir sendromudur. Klinik özelliklerinin bilinmesi oldukça önemlidir, çünkü eğer tanınırsa başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilebilirken, aksi durumda çok ciddi tıbbi sorunlara hatta ölüme yol açabilir Bu derlemede biz OD nin kliniği, patofizyolojisi, acil tedavisi ve profilaksisini tartıştık.
