Q

In neurogenic shock, would you expect tachycardia?

A

No, you would expect bradycardia due to decreased sympathetic tonic input. Parasympathetic input will still be in tact.

Follows the drop in diastolic pressure

74
Q

Would a patient undergoing anaphylactic shock have increased, decreased, or unchanged pulse pressure?
