Hypotension due to distributive shock

Hypotension due to distributive shock is a critical cardiovascular state characterized by an acute, pathological decrease in systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure that compromises vital organ perfusion It affects critically ill pediatric and adult patient populations across various medical and surgical settings

It affects critically ill pediatric and adult patient populations across various medical and surgical settings Pathophysiologically, widespread arteriolar and venular vasodilation leads to vascular pooling, relative hypovolemia, and increased capillary permeability, frequently triggered by inflammatory cytokine release, severe allergic mediator discharge, or loss of sympathetic vasomotor tone

Clinically, this presents as persistent arterial hypotension accompanied by peripheral vasodilation, warm extremities in early phases, and downstream signs of tissue hypoperfusion such as elevated serum lactate, altered mental status, and oliguria
