Résumé

Neurogenic shock in patients with spinal cord injuries can be fatal. Catecholamines are commonly used for the management of neurogenic shock; however, the treatment of catecholamine-refractory neurogenic shock remains challenging. A 78-year-old woman with neurogenic shock from cervical cord injury underwent posterior cervical spine decompression and fixation. The patient's blood pressure could not be maintained with catecholamine administration throughout the surgery. Therefore, indigo carmine was administered, and an effective increase in blood pressure was achieved. The postoperative course was uneventful. The findings from this case indicate that indigo carmine may have an effective vasoconstrictive action in patients with neurogenic shock who do not respond to catecholamines.
