Neurogenic shock is a distributive type of shock resulting in hypotension occasionally with bradycardia that is attributed to the disruption of the autonomic pathways within the spinal cord. Hypotension occurs due to decreased systemic vascular resistance resulting in pooling of blood within the extremities lacking sympathetic tone.
