Scenаriо: Yоu аnd yоur pаrtner are dispatched to a rural area for a 30-year-old male who fell from a height of approximately 20 feet while working on a construction site. Upon arrival, the patient is found lying supine on the ground, unable to move his legs. He reports severe neck pain, and you note that he has no sensation or motor function below the waist. He also mentions tingling in his arms and difficulty breathing.The patient appears pale and is breathing rapidly. His vital signs are as follows:Blood pressure: 88/56 mmHgPulse: 56 bpmRespirations: 24 breaths per minuteGlasgow Coma Scale (GCS): 15 (fully alert)The mechanism of injury (fall from a height) suggests the possibility of spinal cord injury. Your initial assessment reveals suspected neurogenic shock, with hypotension and bradycardia. You quickly stabilize the patient, apply a cervical collar, and use a backboard with spinal immobilization. Oxygen is applied via non-rebreather mask at 15 LPM.As you prepare for transport, the patient’s condition remains stable but concerning, and you suspect a thoracic spinal cord injury due to the loss of motor function in the legs and upper extremity weakness. You initiate IV fluids cautiously to address hypotension.En-Route Phase QuestionIn a patient with neurogenic shock, which of the following would be most concerning?
