Neurogenic Shock: Pathophysiology & Therapy

Описание: Neurogenic shock is a form of distributive shock or relative hypokalaemia that may be encountered in patients with cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord injuries.
I’m on unstable trauma patients. The most common cause of hypotension and shock is bleeding. Once bleeding has been ruled out in patients who manifest weakness specifically para or tetraplegia combined with bradycardia and hypotension, resuscitation combine with a suppressor should be initiated. Targeting a mean arterial pressure of 85 mmHg for approximately seven days continues to be advocated for despite the lack of evidence.
