Résumé |

Vasovagal syncope is often preceded by prodromal signs and symptoms like facial pallor, diaphoresis, fainting, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. If any element of the patient’s airway, breathing, or cardiovascular system is no longer intact, the provider should commence emergency basic life support protocols and notify emergency medical services immediately.
