How does neurogenic shock affect body temperature?
Neurogenic Shock, which occurs when you injure your spinal cord, causes low temperature, a condition known as hypothermia.
What stimulus would most likely cause Post operative shock?
neurogenic shock
What are the kinds of shock?
Distributive, cardiogenic, neurogenic, septic, hypovolemic
What causes Neurogenic shock?
Neurogenic shock is normally caused by injury that occurs to the nervous system. Other conditions can also cause this type of shock including hypertension and reduced blood flow.
What is ITLS EXAMS?
The ITLS exams refers to the exams taken to examine the neurogenic shock.
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.

What is the preferred fluid for resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock in the prehospital setting?
crystalloids
Which of these is not a symptom of shock?
There are many types of shock:Psychogenic,Neurogenic,Hypovolaemic,Cardiogenic,Septic,Anaphylactic,Hypoglycemic,Hemorrhagic....The most common signs & symptoms are:•Anxiety or agitation•Confusion•Pale, cool, clammy skin•Low or no urine output•Bluish lips and fingernails•Dizziness, light-headedness, or faintness•Profuse sweating, moist skin•Rapid but weak pulse•Shallow breathing•Chest pain•Unconsciousness
Vital signs for a spinal cord injury?
Neurogenic shock is characterized by severe autonomic dysfunction, resulting in hypotension, relative bradycardia, peripheral vasodilation, and hypothermia. It does not usually occur with spinal cord injury below the level of T6. Shock associated with a spinal cord injury involving the lower thoracic cord must be considered hemorrhagic until proven otherwise. Spinal shock is defined as the complete loss of all neurologic function, including reflexes and rectal tone, below a specific level that is associated with autonomic dysfunction. Neurogenic shock refers to the hemodynamic triad of hypotension, bradycardia, and peripheral vasodilation resulting from autonomic dysfunction and the interruption of sympathetic nervous system control in acute spinal cord injury.

What is a neurogenic muscle?
Muscle in which contraction is initiated in the central nervous system is said to be neurogenic.
What is neurogenic TOS?
Neurogenic TOS is thoracic outlet syndrome caused by a nerve disorder.
