Determine if there was LOC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If yes: ❑ Rapid onset? ❑ Short duration? ❑ Spontaneous complete recovery? | If no: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If no to ≥1; exclude the following before proceeding with syncope evaluation: ❑ Coma ❑ Aborted SCD ❑ Epilepsy ❑ Metabolic disorders: ♦ Hypoglycemia ♦ Hypoxia ♦ Hyperventilation with hypocapnia ❑ Intoxication ❑ Vertebrobasilar TIA | If yes: ❑ Transient LOC | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
