Syncope

Aka: Syncope, Near-Syncope, Near Syncope, Presyncope, Acute Painful Syncope, Syncope Plus

II. Definition

  1. Syncope
    1. Rapid onset of transient loss of consciousness
    2. May be associated with a fall
    3. Resolves spontaneously and quickly without intervention
  2. Presyncope
    1. Weakness, Dizziness, light headedness or "graying out" of consciousness without loss of postural tone
    2. Evaluated as Syncope with same risks of adverse event
      1. Grossman (2012) Am J Emerg Med 30(1): 203-6 +PMID:21185670 [PubMed]

III. Background

Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness. If you're about to faint, you'll feel dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous. Your field of vision may "white out" or "black out." Your skin may be cold and clammy. You lose muscle control at the same time, and may fall down.

Fainting usually happens when your blood pressure drops suddenly, causing a decrease in blood flow to your brain. It is more common in older people. Some causes of fainting include

  • Heat or dehydration
  • Emotional distress
  • Standing up too quickly
  • Certain medicines
  • Drop in blood sugar
  • Heart problems

When someone faints, make sure that the airway is clear and check for breathing. The person should stay lying down for 10-15 minutes. Most people recover completely. Fainting is usually nothing to worry about, but it can sometimes be a sign of a serious problem. If you faint, it's important to see your health care provider and find out why it happened.

Definition (NCI) A spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Definition (NCI_CTCAE) A disorder characterized by spontaneous loss of consciousness caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Definition (NCI_FDA) Extremely weak; threatened with syncope.
Definition (NCI_CDISC) Sudden loss of consciousness with loss of postural tone, not related to anesthesia, with spontaneous recovery as reported by patient or observer. A subject may experience syncope when supine. Syncope is often caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain.
Definition (NCI) Extremely weak; threatened with syncope.
Definition (MSH) A transient loss of consciousness and postural tone caused by diminished blood flow to the brain (i.e., BRAIN ISCHEMIA). Presyncope refers to the sensation of lightheadedness and loss of strength that precedes a syncopal event or accompanies an incomplete syncope. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp367-9)
Definition (CSP) fainting due to a sudden fall of blood pressure below the level required to maintain oxygenation of brain tissue.
