Talk:Central ischaemic response

I added the merge tag because this is essentially the same thing as fainting. the article is in bad shape and nees to be rewritten as well. --Tainter 22:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I don't agree, it is a specific term, and should therefore keep its own page. Now3d 22:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The CIR is NOT fainting. It is the reason that we faint. The CIR article does need expansion, however. Websurfer135 02:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

All that is left is the response which will relieve the Central Ischaemic Response (CIR) in the legs and allow blood to flow back around It seems a little confusing to me. It states that there is a response (1), which relieves the Central Ischaemic Response (2). What is that first (1) response? Can anyone state this clearer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfredo J. Herrera Lago (talk • contribs)

What on earth is this article saying? Is the CIR the process of falling over in order to bring the head to a lower elevation and higher pressure? It sounds as if it's an autonomic process of the legs! Potatoswatter (talk) 16:20, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * As above, having read this article a dozen times over the last year and still having no idea what it is trying to say I have recast it. If this version is wrong please don't revert it, move it forward, because the previous version just does not read with any sense.  This article still needs significant work.  I am unconvinced that it should not be merged with syncope (medicine) because I could find no (non-self referencing) web articles that use the term CIR and nothing in a couple of medical books other than just words in a sentence.  If this article cannot be developed into something of obvious value soon it should be merged. Now3d and Websurfer135 how about developing it?  Ex nihil (talk) 00:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Merged with Syncope, there does not seem to be a great deal of conviction either way. Perhaps until CIR has been expanded from a stub it is better in Syncope.  Merge tag has been there over a year.  Ex nihil (talk) 23:10, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
