HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE:

• There is limited historical perspective for shock.

Definition:

Shock is defined as decrease in the oxygen delivery to the cells and tissues due to either increase in oxygen demand, decrease in oxygen consumption, inadequate oxygen utilization or a combination of these processes.

Classification:

• Distributive shock
• Obstructive shock

• cardiogenic shock
• Hypovolemic shock

Causes:

• Distributive shock can be from Septic Shock, Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, endocrine, toxin and drug induced, Anaphylactic shock and Neurogenic shock.
• Obstructive shock can be mechanical, pulmonary or Vascular causes.
• Cardiogenic shock can be from cardiomyopathy, Arryhthmias or mechanical.
• Hypovolemic shock can be hemorrhagic or non -hemorrhagic.

Pathophysiology:
