📋 Three Types of Orthostatic Hypotension
Initial OH (10-20 seconds)
Usually benign, resolves quickly. Often causes brief dizziness on standing.
Classic OH (30 sec - 3 min)
More concerning. Significant fall risk. Caught by the 5-1-3-20 protocol.
Delayed OH (after 3 min)
The sneaky one. Often missed. May require extended monitoring beyond standard protocol.
