Hello Awesomites! :D
This doubt came to my mind when I saw a case of COPD with
asterixis.
"Asterixis"is a non-specific sign. It is also
known as flapping tremor.
It is a non-specific neurologic finding which may accompany
organic delirium in a variety of metabolic or toxic disorders which interfere
with cerebral metabolism.
It can be found in the cases with:-
1. Chronic pulmonary insufficiency
2. Uremia
3. Drug induced electrolyte imbalance
4. Arterial hypoxemia
5. Other reasons of electrolyte imbalance.
