- Vasodilatory shock, vasogenic shock, or vasoplegic shock is a medical emergency belonging to shock along with cardiogenic shock, septic shock, allergen-induced shock and hypovolemic shock. When the blood vessels suddenly relax, it results in vasodilation. In vasodilatory shock, the blood vessels are too relaxed leading to extreme vasodilation and blood pressure drops and blood flow becomes very low. Without enough blood pressure, blood and oxygen won't be pushed to reach the body's organs. If vasodilatory shock lasts more than a few minutes, the lack of oxygen starts to damage the body's organs. Vasodilatory shock like other types of shock should be treated quickly, otherwise it can cause permanent organ damage or death as a result of multiple organ dysfunction. Treatment typically involves uses of vasopressor, inotropes, fluid boluses, and introduction of resuscitation. In case vasodilatory shock fails to respond to high doses of vasopressors (defined as ≥ 0.5 mg/kg/min norepinephrine-equivalent dose), meaning it's vasopressor-resistant and advances to being called refractory vasodilatory shock or simply refractory shock. Adjunctive therapies include angiotensin II, hydrocortisone, thiamine, catecholamines, ascorbic acid and combinations of thereof. (en)
