What neurogenic shock?
Neurogenic shock is a form of shock. It often occurs after the brain or spinal cord is injured. Signals from the sympathetic nervous system are interrupted, which leads to sudden dilation of the walls of blood vessels and decreased blood pressure. The result is inadequate blood flow to the body's major organs. Neurogenic shock is a life-threatening condition. If someone you know experiences shock at any time, you need to call 911 as soon as possible or they may become seriously injured or die.
