Spinal Cord Injury Topics Preventing and Relieving Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic dysreflexia (also called hyperreflexia) can be a serious complication of spinal cord injury (SCI), especially for those with an injury at the T6 level or above. When a person has AD, his or her blood pressure can rise to dangerous levels, possibly leading to stroke or death. This life-threatening condition should be considered a medical emergency. Preventing Autonomic Dysreflexia Steps to help prevent autonomic dysreflexia include to: Do frequent pressure relief when in bed or in a chair. Avoid sunburn and scalds (avoid sun overexposure, use sunscreen, and be sure water temperatures are not too high). Adhere to a recommended bowel program. Keep catheters clean and stay on a recommended catheterization schedule. Consume a well-balanced diet and get adequate fluid intake. Take medications as recommended. What To Do If Signs of Autonomic Dysreflexia Develop A person with SCI who feels signs of autonomic dysreflexia should find and remove the problem stimulus if possible. For example:

What is new and You need to Know What is "Autonomic Dysreflexia?" Autonomic dysreflexia, also known as hyperreflexia, means an over-activity of the Autonomic Nervous System causing an abrupt onset of excessively high blood pressure. Persons at risk for this problem generally have injury levels above T-5. Autonomic dysreflexia can develop suddenly and is potentially life threatening and is considered a medical emergency. If not treated promptly and correctly, it may lead to seizures, stroke, and even death. AD occurs when an irritating stimulus is introduced to the body below the level of spinal cord injury, such as an overfull bladder. The stimulus sends nerve impulses to the spinal cord, where they travel upward until they are blocked by the lesion at the level of injury. Since the impulses cannot reach the brain, a reflex is activated that increases activity of the sympathetic portion of autonomic nervous system. This results in spasms and a narrowing of the blood vessels, which causes a rise in the blood pressure. * Pounding headache (caused by the elevation in blood pressure) * Goose Pimples * Sweating above the level of injury * Nasal Congestion * Slow Pulse * Blotching of the Skin * Restlessness * Hypertension (blood pressure greater than 200/100) * Flushed (reddened) face * Red blotches on the skin above level of spinal injury * Sweating above level of spinal injury * Nausea * Cold, clammy skin below level of spinal injury

Journal of Urology. 155(2):519-522, February 1996. Linsenmeyer, Todd A.; Campagnolo, Denise I.; Chou, I.-Hsin Abstract: Purpose: We determined whether symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia correlated with elevations in blood pressure in men with spinal cord injuries. Materials and Methods: During a routine yearly urodynamic evaluation 45 consecutive men with complete spinal cord injuries above T6 underwent simultaneous monitoring of blood pressure and symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia. Those with systolic blood pressure of greater than 160 mm. Hg or diastolic blood pressure of greater than 90 mm. Hg during voiding were assigned to the hypertensive group. During voiding 35 men (78 percent) had significant hypertension. Results: Before voiding there was no statistical difference in mean systolic blood pressure between men with and without hypertension (117 versus 110 mm. Hg, p = 0.28). During uninhibited contractions and voiding mean systolic blood pressure of the normotensive group (131 mm. Hg) versus the hypertensive group (169 mm. Hg) was statistically significant (p less than 0.0001). Of the 35 hypertensive patients 15 (43 percent) had no symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia. There was no correlation of autonomic dysreflexia with length of injury, maximum voiding pressure or bladder capacity (p = 0.59, 0.85 and 0.34, respectively).

Annals of Plastic Surgery. 51(3):325-329, September 2003. Curtin, Catherine M. MD *+; Gater, David R. MD, PhD ++[S]; Chung, Kevin C. MD + Abstract: Plastic surgeons are integral to the management team for patients with spinal cord injuries, with responsibilities including pressure sore management and upper extremity reconstruction. Injury to the spinal cord profoundly disrupts the body's ability to maintain homeostasis. In particular, the autonomic system can become unregulated, resulting in a massive sympathetic discharge called autonomic dysreflexia. Autonomic dysreflexia occurs in the majority of patients with injuries above the sixth thoracic vertebra and causes sudden, severe hypertension. If left untreated, autonomic dysreflexia can result in stroke or death. Because this syndrome causes morbidity and mortality, it is crucial for plastic surgeons to be able to recognize and treat autonomic dysreflexia. This article reviews the etiology, symptoms, and treatment of this syndrome. Subscribe to RSS feed utrdc-pt01 Release 4.0

Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD) is a life-threatening condition that can occur in persons with spinal cord injury. AD is an acute episode of exaggerated sympathetic reflex response It occurs because SCI disrupts feedback mechanisms to the cord below the injury. Without inhibitory feedback, afferent stimuli travel uninhibited between reflex centers. It is usually brought on by visceral stimuli that normally cause pain or discomfort in the abdominal or pelvic region. It is uncommon for AD to occur until spinal shock has resolved, usually about 6 months after injury. It is most unpredictable during the first year following injury, but can occur throughout the person's lifetime. AD is usually characterized by hypertension ranging from mild (20 mm hg above baseline) to severe hypertension as high as 300/160, bradycardia and headache ranging from dull to severe and pounding. Instant Feedback: AD most often occurs within the first 6 months after injury. True False AD is associated with injuries at T6 and above. An injury below T6, usually allows sufficient cerebral vasomotor inhibition to control sympathetic reflexes. The inverse is true for injuries at or above T6, uninhibited sympathetic release of norepinephrine and dopamine below the level of injury causes vasospasm, hypertension, skin pallor and gooseflesh associated with the piloerector response. At the same time, baroreceptor function and parasympathetic control of heart rate remain intact. Continued hypertension produces a baroreflex-mediated vagal slowing of heart rate to bradycardic levels. Accompanying that is a baroreflex-mediated vasodilatation, causing the flushed skin and profuse sweating above the level of injury, along with sudden onset of a pounding headache, nasal stuffiness and feelings of anxiety.

Search Please Donate Latest News June 15, 2004 – Spinal-Injury.net Spinal-Injury.net : Spinal Cord Injury - Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a condition that can occur in anyone who has a spinal cord injury at or above the T6 level. It is related to disconnection's between the body below the injury and the control mechanisms for blood pressure and heart function. It causes the blood pressure to rise to potentially dangerous levels. AD can be caused by a number of things. The most common causes are a full bladder, bladder infection, severe constipation, or pressure sores. Anything that would normally cause pain or discomfort below the level of the spinal cord injury can trigger dysreflexia. AD can occur during medical tests or procedures and need to be watched for. The symptoms that occur with AD are directly related to the types of responses that happen in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Symptoms such as a pounding headache, spots before the eyes, or blurred vision are the direct result of the high blood pressure that occurs when blood vessels below the injury constrict. The body responds by dilating blood vessels above the injury, causing flushing of the skin, sweating, and occasionally goosebumps. Some patients describe nasal stuffiness and will feel very anxious. Uncontrolled AD can cause a stroke if not treated.
