Answer: The two major causes for syncope are hypoxia and low blood pressure. The major difference between them is that the hypoxia causes low supply of oxygen to the heart which results in to lack of oxygen overall the body. This also causes loss of consciousness among people and hence syncope occurs.
The second cause is the low blood pressure. The low supply of the blood to brain. When there will be no sufficient amount of blood supply to the brain, the person will feel syncope. This lead in disturbance of the blood supply to overall body tissues and organs.
The treatment of the hypoxia can be done by providing proper hydration, if necessary providing support of ventilation for proper breathing. Whereas in the case of hypotension, medication is provided to maintain the blood pressure level. β‐blockers can be given.
The nurse should provide teaching as the patient should be hydrated, should not consume alcohol, should have routine checkup. The patient should take medicine on time.
