Endocrine Shock Explained: Adrenal Crisis, Myxedema Coma, Thyroid Storm

Endocrine shock is a rare but high-risk cause of distributive shock that is frequently missed in Emergency Medicine and Critical Care. In this video, we break down endocrine shock using a physiology-first framework, focusing on three life-threatening endocrine emergencies: 🔹 Adrenal crisis (acute cortisol deficiency) 🔹 Myxedema coma (severe hypothyroidism) 🔹 Thyroid storm (severe thyrotoxicosis) You’ll learn: ✔️ The role of hormones in maintaining vascular tone, cardiac output, and stress response ✔️ Why hypotension in endocrine shock is often refractory to fluids and pressors ✔️ Key bedside clues and diagnostic traps ✔️ How endocrine shock differs from septic and neurogenic shock ✔️ Time-sensitive emergency management strategies This video is designed for medical students, residents, emergency physicians, intensivists, nurses, and APPs managing undifferentiated shock. 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!!   / whiteboardmedicine   Playlist on Shock:    • Shock   👍Become a WhiteBoard Medicine member for early access and perks!    / @whiteboardmedicine   👇DON'T MISS OUT - JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY TODAY 👇   / whiteboardmedicine   We appreciate the support! 👏New WhiteBoard Medicine Podcast!
