Spinal Shock Hypotension. The mechanism for vasodilatation is blockade of the sympathetic nerve fibers at the. Although vasopressors are common drugs that have been used to restore blood pressure and heart rate in patients with neurogenic shock there is limited data regarding pharmacologic management of bradycardia and hypotension after spinal cord injury. Because little amount of blood reach upper limb. The classic clinical presentation of neurogenic shock is shock hypotension with warm extremities and bradycardia after a trauma causing a spinal cord injury above the level of t6.
Bradycardia is more common in higher cervical injuries. Hypotension motor evoked potentials electrophysiological studies central nervous system cns injury is a potential complication of many surgical procedures. Severe sepsis is the predominant form of vasogenic shock. Spinal anesthesia may cause disastrous consequences in a person who already has low blood pressure or is dehydrated. Tachycardia increase in heart rate is the first sign of hypotension. Imbalance between vasodilatation and vasoconstriction is the most common mechanism underlying hypotension associated with spinal epidural analgesia and occurs if the block is widespread or in the presence of hypovolemia even with a limited block 2.

Patient become pale breathless anxious and in the end unconscious. Vasogenic shock is when blood vessels dilate inappropriately or more seriously dilate and leak. It s characterized by a drop in blood pressure when you try to sit or stand up after laying down for long periods.
