How is distributive shock treated?

How is distributive shock treated?

Your healthcare provider will give you IV fluids, like saline. Next, they will give you medicines to address the cause of your vasodilatory shock. Then, they may give you some nourishment (probably through a tube feeding).

You’ll be in the intensive care unit (ICU) after most likely starting out in the emergency room. Your provider will continue to check your vital signs and watch for side effects of your treatment. You may need a ventilator to help you breathe if you’re having trouble breathing on your own.
