What's bp? & what's a tilt table test
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tilt Table Test TTT: Ttt is used to detect autonomic insufficiency or problems regulating blood pressure (BP) that can lead to passing out spells. The patient is strapped to a comfortable table (snug enough to hold) and then placed head upright at 70-80˚. BP and heart rate are continually monitored. If BP falls or the patient passes out, this is a positive test. The pt is quickly laid flat again. Lasts about 30 min.
