Introduction
Educational decision support. Not a diagnosis and not a substitute for your clinical judgment.
A dizzy patient on tomorrow’s schedule?
A guided path through the most common, best-evidenced case: posterior-canal BPPV. You assess and decide; this organizes the steps and shows the source. It is not a diagnosis.
- 1Rule out dangerous causes first
- 2Perform and read the Dix-Hallpike test
- 3Treat posterior-canal BPPV with the Epley maneuver
- 4Re-test and plan follow-up
Covers posterior-canal BPPV only. Horizontal-canal, atypical, or uncertain findings are routed to referral. Continuous (constant) vertigo is a different pathway.
