Q-Sweat measurement system in the newly opened lab.
The Pediatric Neurosciences Program recently opened a vascular autonomic laboratory at Dell Children’s Medical Center. The lab offers tilt-table testing with simultaneous electroencephalography, video, electrocardiography, and quantitative sudomotor axon reflex testing (QSART) for evaluating children with suspected positional orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), syncope, pseudosyncope, and other autonomic disorders. It is one of only two pediatric autonomic labs in the Southwest.
The laboratory is jointly overseen by Manikum Moodley, MD, who previously served as the director of the pediatric vascular autonomic lab at the Cleveland Clinic, and Veda Vedanarayanan, MD, who oversaw the Electromyography and Autonomic Laboratory at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
