A 32-year-old male presents to the emergency department following a motorcycle accident. He exhibits hypotension, bradycardia, and warm, dry skin. Which condition is most consistent with his presentation?
Septic shock
Neurogenic shock
Hypovolemic shock
Cardiogenic shock
The patient’s symptoms align with neurogenic shock, which is characterized by hypotension due to loss of sympathetic tone and bradycardia. This condition typically arises after spinal cord injuries, resulting in vasodilation and impaired thermoregulation, leading to warm, dry skin. The other choices do not adequately explain the combination of these symptoms.
