Description
Rubens and co-authors report a rare disaster in which shock drugs starved all four limbs of blood. The patient was a 26-year-old man with severe obesity and suspected septic shock. To hold his blood pressure up, doctors gave long, high doses of vessel-tightening drugs. Those drugs, joined with obesity and immune signals that injure small vessels, cut flow to his arms and legs. All four limbs were lost. The authors present the interplay of those factors as the heart of the case.
