We do not yet have a formal information sheet on Autonomic Dysreflexia.
However you can download the Autonomic Dysreflexia Alert Card here (as a pdf) to print and cary with you.
Also you can view an Autonomic Dysreflexia presentation in Flash in the widow below or click on the "Full Screen" button to open the presentation in a new window. (If you do not yet have the Flash player installed on your system you will be offered an opportunity to install it automatically.)
You can download this Autonomic Dysreflexia presentation as a pdf here or download it as a powerpoint show here.
The following link is to the Paralyzed Veterans of America website information on Autonomic
Dysreflexia.
The information has been written for an American audience therefore it is intended for general
information only.
If looking at the information please note that:
- The emergency number in the UK is 999 not 911
- The DoCSTC does not, in these circumstances, recommend gently irrigating the bladder as suggested on page 9
- The document makes no mention of Nifedipine (see alert card above)
