Why is low blood pressure so dangerous in regards to septic shock?
11 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Its like a hose: Your blood needs to maintain a certain pressure to flow so to speak - if there is low water pressure you can't shower - if there is low blood pressure you can't live - in regards to sepsis that accentuates the problem - eventually - bottom line leads to death -.

Extremely dangerous: If organs are not getting enough blood, they do not work, and worse they are injured to the point of organ death. Blood pressure is a direct reflection of how much blood is flowing to these organs.
