It’s back to the drawing board for any physiologic closed-loop controlled (PCLC) system that reports physiologically impossible variables, like the negative heart rates or ECAP amplitudes shown in the picture here. PCLC systems can’t know or control a physiologic variable if the output of the measurement system is meaningless. Fortunately, most—but not all—PCLC systems are engineered to #putpatientsfirst with the clinically meaningful sensing and therapy control that patients deserve.

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a medical emergency. It most commonly occurs in people with spinal lesions at or above the T6 level with only rare occurrences in people with lesions below that level. It occurs in response to a noxious stimulus below the level of your SCI. Symptoms of AD include: Pounding headache Rapid elevation in blood pressure (>20-40mmHg person’s normal BP*) NB: *baseline BP is often low in a person with high level paraplegia / tetraplegia (e.g. 90-100/60 mmHg). Slowed heart rate Blotchy red rash above level of SCI Sweating above level of SCI. Nasal congestion. Goose flesh below level of SCI. Shortness of breath, apprehension or onset of anxiety. At HNS specialise in personalised AD emergency planning with all of our clinical team trained to recognise and respond quickly to symptoms of AD.
