Orthostatic convulsive syncope is defined as a decrease in cerebral blood supply resulting in convulsive, seizure-like symptoms. The authors present the first case report of orthostatic convulsive syncope in a burn patient. There are many causes of transient loss of consciousness in patients. An algorithm is presented to aid in the workup and management strategies for this diagnosis. This approach in conjunction with a neurology consult should add in the assessment and treatment of transient loss of consciousness and orthostatic convulsive syncope in a burn patient.
直立性惊厥性晕厥的定义为脑供血减少导致惊厥样发作症状。作者报告了首例烧伤患者发生直立性惊厥性晕厥的病例。患者短暂意识丧失有多种原因。本文提出一种算法，以辅助该诊断的检查和管理策略。这种方法结合神经科会诊，应有助于对烧伤患者短暂意识丧失和直立性惊厥性晕厥进行评估和治疗。
