Neurogenic Shock

Neurogenic shock is a medical condition that occurs when the nervous system is severely damaged, often due to spinal cord injuries or trauma. This damage disrupts the body's ability to regulate blood flow and blood pressure. As a result, blood vessels can widen excessively, leading to low blood pressure and reduced blood flow to vital organs. Symptoms may include fainting, a slow heart rate, and warm, dry skin. Neurogenic shock is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to restore normal blood circulation and prevent complications.
