Patients with hypertensive crises may require immediate reduction in elevated blood pressure to prevent and arrest progressive end-organ damage. The best clinical setting in which to achieve this blood pressure control is in the intensive care unit, with the use of titratable intravenous hypotensive agents.
Implementation of therapeutic hypothermia has its advantages, although complications are associated with its use. Shivering is a common complication that occurs during the induction and rewarming phases of therapeutic hypothermia. Strategies for preventing and managing shivering vary across protocols.
Reactions which only travel to, through, and from the spinal cord are often called spinal reflexes or cord-mediated reflexes; withdrawing oneâs hand from a hot stove is an example of such a reflex. In âsimple reaction timeâ experiments, there is only one stimulus and one response.eactions which only travel to, through, and from the spinal cord are often called spinal reflexes or cord-mediated reflexes; withdrawing oneâs hand from a hot stove is an example of such a reflex.
