Metabolism and the Activity of the Autonomic Nervous System in Patients With Paroxystic Sympathetic Hyperactivity, PSH

Adult patients suffering from acquired brain damage run the risk of developing PSH. This group of patients is admitted to our unit, the Neurointensive Stepdown Unit, at Silkeborg Regional Hospital for intensive care and early neurorehabilitation. After weaning from intensive carethey are transferred to Hammel NeuroCentre. Aim is to assess whether HRV-derived variables in the frequency domain mirror therapeutic and/or nursing and/or pharmacologic interventions. To the extent clinically available BRS and metabolism are included in the assessment.
