7 SCI Personal Goal Tracking Tool You will soon be admitted to the Rehabilitation Centre at Hamilton Health Sciences. In the spinal cord injury (SCI) program you will be asked to work on the goals that are important to you. The SCI team will be here to help you! All of your goals may not be completed while you are in the hospital. Rehabilitation goals will continue after you leave. This tool will help you track your goals while you are here and after you move back into the community. As you work towards meeting each goal, you will find that there are smaller goals needed to meet each main goal. These are called sub-goals. For example, if one of your goals is to feed yourself, you will need to be able to grasp a fork and to raise your arm high enough to bring it to your mouth. Grasping a fork and raising your arm are both sub-goals for the goal of feeding yourself. This tool will help you track your goals. You will meet with the SCI navigator every two weeks to track your goals. Using this tool will help you know what goals you need to work on. During rehabilitation, you will meet with the spinal cord injury team every two weeks to talk about your goals. This tool is here to help you during these meetings. The SCI navigator will help you if you have difficulty understanding or completing this tool. Page - 3

30 Autonomic Dysreflexia Autonomic dysreflexia can be life threatening. It is a complication following a spinal cord injury. You must know what it is, why it happens and how to find and remove the cause immediately. Autonomic dysreflexia or AD is a reaction of the body to uncontrolled nerve impulses. It is a response to painful or uncomfortable stimuli below the level of your spinal cord injury. AD is usually caused by: a bladder that is too full a full lower bowel prolonged pressure on the skin. If your injury is above the level of T6, it may occur. You must learn all about it if your injury is above T6. When the system is stimulated, blood vessels in the abdomen, pelvis and legs constrict or get tighter. This causes the blood pressure to rise. Messages from the brain cannot travel down the spinal cord below the level of the injury. This means that the blood vessels continue to constrict and blood pressure keeps rising. Common Indications severe headache heavy sweating flushed or reddened skin goose bumps blurry vision or spots in front of the eyes stuffy nose anxiety or jitters a feeling of tightness in your chest or flutters in your heart or chest, or trouble breathing Page - 26
31 Common causes of Autonomic Dysflexia 1. Full bladder 2. Full leg bag 3. Kinked catheter tubing 4. Full bowel incomplete emptying of bowels 5. Skin breakdown 6. Pressure on skin/sitting in one position too long 7. Menstrual cramps 8. Infection Interventions 1. Raise head of bed or make sure the head is elevated if in chair. 2. Check to make sure bladder is not full, reposition leg bag and check for kinking of tubing if indwelling catheter is used. 3. Check bowels using 2% xylocaine gel to ensure bowels are empty. If stool is present, gently empty, watching BP and stopping to allow BP to subside if elevating. 4. Check for areas where pressure may be exerted against skin and relieve pressure. 5. Check for any other factor that may be causing distress to the body such as bladder infection, skin ulcer, excessive heat, etc. If there is no change in BP after interventions or source cannot be found, contact your physician immediately emergency situation! Please refer to booklet on Autonomic Dysreflexia for review of pertinent information concern this emergency situation. Please make sure booklet (or emergency card) goes with you should you need transporting to an emergency department or other facility. Page - 27
