Autonomic Dysreflexia Hyperreflexia Nursing Review: Symptoms, Treatment

Autonomic dysreflexia, also called autonomic hyperreflexia, is an exaggerated reflex response by the autonomic nervous system, which is caused by an irritating stimulus below the site of a spinal cord injury.
This autonomic dysreflexia nursing review will cover the causes, pathophysiology, symptoms, treatment, and nursing interventions for this condition.
Patients who are at the highest risk of developing autonomic dysrflexia are patients who've experienced a T6 or higher spinal cord injury.
Autonomic dysrflexia (AD) is caused by anything that causes an irritating stimulus BELOW the site of injury. However, a bladder, bowel, or skin issue tends to be the most common cause. A bladder issue being the most common of the three.
Signs and symptoms of autonomic dysreflexia include: throbbing headache, hypertension, sweating, flushing ABOVE the site of spinal injury, cool, pale BELOW the site of spinal injury, anxiety, goosebumps etc.
Nursing interventions for autonomic dysreflexia include prevention, detection, and action of the condition. Please watch the video for specific nursing interventions for autonomic hyperreflexia.

Please please do a video on hypersensitivities because i always had trouble with these but I have not yet found a way to make them stick and i still have problems differentiating which cases would be type 2 or 3 and etc. And if you ever get a chance ways to take notes base on different learning styles when it comes to studying from review books and textbooks? Again if you ever get a chance. But, Thank you so much for your time and help! :)

    I have spine injuries not in a wheelchair and I still have this diagnosed by my physical therapist after 15 years 😔 It's horrible and my doctor's are ignorant 💯 headaches, obsessive sweating, HBP generally 100/70 Sometimes 148/100 just like you said. Stuffy nose, almost passing out during BMs ...I can go 30 days without BM 😭 Actually passed out during chemo after violent diarrhea 5 time's a day like giving birth. BM. What do I tell my primary care physician to get the help I need? I have multiple levels of cervical and lumbar injuries from falling 400 ft down dry waterfall and whiplash from ppl without driver's licenses 💯. Can't wear necklace, bra, underwear or pants. Lidocaine spray I've been using for skin problems 🙄 I have no idea what the hell to do anymore
