AB Content  Update:  Hints,  Vertigo,  and  Nystagmus  April  2020Text  change  under  BEDSIDE  TESTING  FOR  BPPV:  Note  that  although  it  is  appropriate  to  perform  the  Dix-Hallpike  test  on  patients  with  short  episodes  of  dizziness  brought  on  by  head  movement,  and  without  spontaneous  or  gaze  evoked  nystagmus,  such  patients  should  not  have  the  HINTS-Plus  exam  performed  on  them.  The  latter  would  produce  erroneous  results.  The  HINTS-Plus  exam  should  be  reserved  for  patients  with  ongoing  constant  vertigo  and  spontaneous  or  gaze  evoked  nystagmus.  See  Figure  170-2.
