Other characters Autonomic dysreflexia, bladder, a combination of symptoms, caused by stimulation of the bladder, in patients with spinal cord injuries above the T6 level. In these patients, presence of bladder calculi, overdistension, or other stimuli such as a cystoscopic examination, may lead to marked hypertension, bradycardia, sweating and, if untreated, stroke. Before any procedure which may precipitate this syndrome is undertaken, care must be taken to have appropriate treatment facilities available, including cystography. Radiology plays a minor role, except for the detection of bladder calculi or occasional mild hydronephrosis. A combination of KUB and ultrasound is often the only imaging modality required.

Extractions: (click on highlighted text for website information) AD occurs primarily because of an imbalance in the body systems, which control the blood pressure. The human body is an incredibly complicated and beautifully balanced machine. There are balances to each system of the body, including blood pressure. One of the major ways the body controls blood pressure is by tightening or relaxing little muscles around the blood vessels. When the muscles contract, the blood vessels get small and blood pressure increases. Imagine a garden hose with water streaming through it; when you put your thumb over the opening of the hose, reducing the opening for the water to flow through, the water shoots out at a higher pressure. Similarly, when the blood vessels are smaller, the blood rushes around your body at higher pressure. When a noxious stimulus occurs, a reflex is initiated that causes the blood vessels to constrict and raises the blood pressure. In an intact spinal cord, this same stimulus also sets in motion another set of reflexes that moderates the constriction of blood vessels. However, in someone who has SCI at the T-6 level or above, the signal, which tells the blood vessels to relax cannot get through the spinal cord because of the injury. Some of the nerves at the T-6 level also control the blood flow to and from the gut, which is a large reservoir of blood. Uncontrolled activity of these nerves may cause the blood from the gut to flow into the rest of the blood system. The result is that blood pressure can increase to dangerous levels and the increase in blood pressure must be controlled by outside means.

Residents As the survival rates for young patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) have improved, issues surrounding reproduction in this population have become increasingly important, particularly in the female patient. It has been recognized that after medical stabilization and psychological adjustment for SCI, female libido, as well as the physiological capability to reproduce, remains intact. However, pregnancy in females with a spinal cord injury may be complicated by frequent urinary tract infections, pressure sores, anemia, sepsis, unattended birth, and autonomic dysreflexia (AD). Of these potential complications, AD remains the most serious and life-threatening during labor and delivery. It is important that physiatrists and rehabilitation team members understand its etiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation, in order to provide prompt and appropriate management to prevent morbidity and mortality in the patient and her fetus. AD is defined as Aan acute syndrome of massive unchecked reflex sympathetic discharge that occurs in patients with spinal cord lesions above the major sympathetic outflow.

Extractions: Autonomic dysreflexia (sometimes called hyperreflexia) is unique to people with spinal cord injury above the T6 level and is a condition you should be aware of. It occurs when there is some stimulation below the level of your injury (see list below) that causes part of your nervous system to respond in an uncontrolled way. You will recognize autonomic dysreflexia by these symptoms.. Autonomic dysreflexia can be brought on by specific stimulation in areas below the level of injury. These may include: When autonomic dysreflexia occurs during sexual activity that activity should be stopped for a few minutes. Alternatively, another activity may be substituted. It is important that you try to find creative solutions instead of stopping all forms of sexual activity. If autonomic dysreflexia continues to be a problem or is interfering with your sexual life you may want to talk to your doctor about using a medication that you take just before sexual activity to prevent the dysreflexia from happening. During labour and delivery, contractions of the uterus can cause autonomic dysreflexia which can be mistaken for a condition called pre-eclampsia which some able-bodied women experience with pregnancy. The two are very different and are managed differently. With pre-eclampsia, the high blood pressure is continuous. With autonomic dysreflexia, the blood pressure and other symptoms are only present during the contractions. In between the contractions the blood pressure will go down. Your doctor will be aware of the need to carefully monitor your blood pressure when you are in labour. [See also Pregnancy, Labour and Delivery: link to consumer section on Preg,labour and delivery]

Extractions: Autonomic dysreflexia is a response to painful stimuli below your spinal cord lesion that you cannot feel, but your body recognizes as painful. Autonomic dysreflexia can occur if you have a spinal cord lesion above T6. The intact portions of your nervous system respond by constricting your blood vessels and increasing your blood pressure. Other parts of your body sense the increase in blood pressure and try to counteract the change by slowing your heart rate and sending signals to tell your blood vessels to relax. Unfortunately, these signals cant pass through your spinal cord lesion. So your body keeps slowing your heart and sends a flood of signals to your blood vessels, while your blood pressure continues to rise. What can trigger autonomic dysreflexia?

Extractions: What is Autonomic Dysreflexia? Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD), also known as Hyperreflexia, is a potentially dangerous complication of spinal cord injury (SCI). In AD, an individual's blood pressure may rise to dangerous levels and if not treated can lead to stroke and possibly death. Individuals with SCI at the T-6 level or above are at greater risk. AD usually occurs because of a noxious (irritating) stimulus below the level of the injury. Symptoms include headache, facial flush, perspiration, and a stuffy nose. AD occurs primarily because of an imbalance in the body systems which control the blood pressure. The human body is an incredibly complicated and beautifully balanced machine. There are balances to each system of the body, including the blood pressure. One of the major ways the body controls blood pressure is by tightening or relaxing little muscles around the blood vessels. When the muscles contract, the blood vessels get smaller and blood pressure increases. Imagine a garden hose with water streaming through it; when you put your thumb over the opening of the hose, reducing the opening for the water to flow through, the water shoots out at a higher pressure.

Extractions: Online Services Privacy Accessibility Security Fact Sheet 25: Autonomic Dysreflexia Reader: Family, Professional Autonomic dysreflexia (or hyperreflexia) is a complication which occurs in people with spinal cord injuries at or above the level of T6 (or rarely as low as T8). In other words, it can occur in all quadriplegics and in paraplegics who have loss of sensation at or above the lower rib cage. It apparently does not occur in any condition other than spinal cord injury (SCI), therefore most physicians have never heard of it. For a detailed description of the neuropathology see one of the references in the bibliography. The first episode of dysreflexia usually occurs within four to six months after SCI, but may be as early as two months or as late as 10-12 years. Unfortunately, with the short hospital stays these days, many individuals will be discharged from the hospital before the first episode. Even if they were told about dysreflexia in the hospital, they may not remember what they were told and don't recognize the symptoms. How Often Does Dysreflexia Occur?

Extractions: Registered: Aug 2000 posted 06-18-2003 04:48 PM Anybody else suffer from Autonomic dysreflexia (hyperreflexia)?: Autonomic dysreflexia, also known as hyperreflexia, is a state that is unique to patients after spinal cord injury at a T-5 level and above (I'm C-3/4). Patients with spinal cord injuries at Thoracic 5 (T-5) level and above are very susceptible. Patients with spinal cord injuries at Thoracic 6 - Thoracic 10 (T6-T10) may be susceptible. Patients with Thoracic 10 (T-10) and below are usually not susceptible. Also, the older the injury the less likely the person will experience autonomic dysreflexia. Autonomic dysreflexia can develop suddenly, and is a possible emergency situation. If not treated promptly and correctly, it may lead to seizures, stroke, and even death. IP: Logged Tim Hall
