Publisher's Synopsis
Distributive shock or vasodilatory shock is a medical emergency where your body can't get enough blood to your heart, brain and kidneys. This happens because your blood vessels are extremely dilated (flaccid or relaxed), which brings down your blood pressure and cuts down on how much blood can get to your organs. Often the small blood vessels (capillaries) are leaky in distributive shock, resulting in some fluid loss from the circulation.
You need to get treatment as soon as possible for vasodilatory shock.
