Absence of Adverse Neurological Outcomes in a Non-Neurologically Injured Polytrauma Patient Despite Extreme and Prolonged Treatment-Resistant Hypotension
Abstract : Temporary hypotension after severe trauma might help achieve hemostasis and increase the chances of survival. However, excessive hypotension can lead to adverse neurological sequelae or be fatal. The relationship between the degree of hypotension and neurological prognosis after trauma is not fully understood. Our report describes a patient with severe trauma who survived with a favorable neurological outcome despite extreme and prolonged treatment-resistant hypotension.
