Objective To investigate the levels of knowledge on autonomic dysreflexia (AD) following spinal cord injury (SCI) from surgeons.
Methods September 1st to 30th, 71 surgeons from seven departments were tested with the knowledge about AD with a questionnaire.
Results Only 35% of them gave the correct answer above 60% of the items. The items that got respondence less than 60% involved in those about causes, clinical signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for AD. The respondence about knowledge of causes, clinical signs and symptoms, and treatment for AD was different among departments (F > 2.270, P < 0.05). The respondence about knowledge of treatment for AD was different among the surgeons who had managed different numbers of SCI patients (F = 4.043, P < 0.05). The knowledge of clinical signs and symptoms, and treatment was different among the surgeons with their self-reported knowledge level of AD (F = 5.519, P < 0.01). There was no difference in knowledge for AD among the surgeons with different educational background, technological position and length of career (F < 2.107, P > 0.05).
Conclusion The knowledge about AD needs to improve in the surgeons.
