What is autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injury patients?
Researchers encourage medical students to remember the main potential AD triggers using the 6 Bs- bladder, , boils, bones, babies and back passage. Although this may sound a bit crude, these encompass and summarize potential triggers and can be helpful for individuals to recognize symptoms in themselves.
What is the autonomic dysreflexia summary?
Autonomic dysreflexia is a potentially life-threatening syndrome involving an abnormal, overreaction of your autonomic nervous system to painful sensory input. It most often happens after a spinal cord injury at or above the sixth thoracic vertebrae (T6).

The 2024 AO Spine Praxis guidelines recommend maintaining mean arterial pressure (MAP) of at least 7580 mmHg for the first 37 days to optimize spinal cord perfusion in acute traumatic SCI [3].
What is the blood pressure for acute spinal cord injury?
Autonomic dysreflexia is a disorder of autonomic nervous system dysregulation that occurs in patients with a spinal cord injury and that can result in life-threatening hypertension. It occurs in 20to 70% of patients, 1 month to 1 year after spinal cord injury.
