We present a case study of a patient with pure autonomic failure who was successfully treated with ambulatory norepinephrine (NE) infusions over a 9-year-period of time before death occurred unexpectedly. Given this patient's response to the NE infusion treatment, we discuss the option of ambulatory NE infusions as a treatment for severe orthostatic hypotension that is refractory to common treatments.
我们呈现了一例纯粹自主神经衰竭患者的病例研究,该患者在死亡前成功接受了为期 9 年的门诊去甲肾上腺素(NE)输注治疗。鉴于该患者对 NE 输注治疗的反应,我们讨论了将门诊 NE 输注作为治疗常见治疗方法无效的严重直立性低血压的选择。
