ADVICE

Eliciting Reflexes

  • To elicit reflexes effectively, firmly control the patient's limb.
  • This helps them relax, allowing for a more accurate assessment.
ADVICE

Distraction Technique for Reflexes

  • Distract patients while checking reflexes, especially in a tense environment.
  • Having them count backward from 100 by sevens can improve reflex elicitation.
INSIGHT

GBS and Infections

  • The link between Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and vaccines is negligible.
