Use of midodrine and fludrocortisone in neurogenic shock: A case report
1Department of Critical Care, Grande International Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Abstract:
Our case report includes a 42 year old male who had C6-C7 fracture dislocation with complete spinal cord injury following a motor vehicle accident. The patient underwent combined anterior and posterior fixation of the cervical spine. However, the patient had hypotension as a part of neurogenic shock and required vasopressor to maintain mean arterial pressure. The patient was treated in Intensive Care Unit with noradrenaline infusion to maintain mean arterial pressure but it was really challenging to stop the vasopressor. The patient was started on oral Midodrine and Fludrocortisone; vasopressor dose was tapered and finally stopped.

Adrenergic Agonists: Therapeutic Uses
Emergency and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) applications: Pressor agents increase blood pressure, heart rate, and contractility in shock and organ failure situations. Dopamine can induce vasodilation and stimulate adrenoceptors. Endogenous catecholamines are effective in treating cardiogenic shock. α2-agonists like clonidine can reverse anesthesia-induced hypertension.
