Eliciting Reflexes
- To elicit reflexes effectively, firmly control the patient's limb.
- This helps them relax, allowing for a more accurate assessment.
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.
GBS and Infections
- The link between Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and vaccines is negligible.
- GBS is more definitively linked to preceding infections like Campylobacter jejuni.
