Abstract

Syncope is a sudden, transient and complete decline in the level of consciousness during which the patient cannot maintain his/her muscle tone and falls to the ground. Recovery is usually spontaneous and quick. Stimulants such as standing for a long time, hot bath and emotional stress are associated with this type of syncope. A significant percentage of cases of syncope occur while standing. Standing leads to the transfer of 500-800 ml of blood to the abdomen and organs. To deal with hypovolemia and reduce venous return, elastic compression stockings can be considered for treatment. © 2022, Babol University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
