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)
