What is a neurogenic shock?
neurogenic shock is a drop in blood pressure caused by the injury of the central nervous system. It should be treated immediately because it can be fatal if it is not identified and solved quickly, and is a known risk of brain and spinal cord injury. People in treatment under such conditions can be carefully monitored by shock indicators in order to provide rapid intervention if necessary. Once the shock is resolved and the patient is stabilized, the treatment of injuries can help prevent the risk of other complications.
In patients with this complication, there are no signals that normally regulate dilatation and contraction of blood vessels the body calls blood vessels to relax, allowing blood pressure to drop because it is less resistance. Circulation may be disturbed and the patient may be hypothermia due to heat loss because blood is not correctly circulating. Some patients in the state of neurogenic shock also develop bradycardia, where heart rate slows down.
Several measures can be used to solve neurogenic shock. FirstM is the administration of fluids to increase blood pressure by increasing the total volume of fluid in circulation, which is particularly important if the patient has lost fluids during an accident or surgery. In addition, it may be necessary to provide the patient's respiratory tract by intubation and mechanical ventilation if the patient has difficulty breathing. Medicines may regulate heart rate if the patient shows signs of bradycardia.
Careful evaluation of the brain and spinal cord is decisive for the location of injury and determination of its scope. This may dictate the course of treatment because the patient may require further interventions to prevent new complications. Concerns about these injuries dictate to the treatment of patients with suspected spinal cord or brain damage as a result of accidents; Emergency treatments L are trained to protect the head and neck and evaluate the patient for signs of neurogenic shock. There are also concerns about things such as the administration of fluids,that could contribute to swelling in the skull and cause complications.
If someone who recently experienced brain or spinal cord injury develops symptoms such as pale, fatigue and dizziness, it can be signs of neurogenic shock. The patient should be transported to a medical facility for evaluation and treatment. It is also advisable to obtain medical assistance for any suspicion of damage to the central nervous system at the time it occurs, even if it seems less, because timely identification and treatment can improve the patient's outcome.
