This wallet card describes what Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD) is as well as its symptoms, causes, and treatments. AD is not a common condition that care workers, first responders, doctors and nurses, hospitals, and emergency ward staff are familiar with. This card was developed to assist the person experiencing an AD episode to convey their symptoms to a care team unfamiliar with the condition.
This resource was created by Spinal Cord Injury BC and clinicians from the Spinal Cord program at GF Strong Rehab Centre. Please contact us directly at info@sci-bc.ca if you would like a wallet card mailed to you.
