Shock Shock
• Shock is: • Cellular and tissue hypoxia: Oxygen Glucose • Reduced oxygen delivery • Increased oxygen consumption • Inadequate oxygen utilization • Most commonly occurs due to circulatory failure. • Initially reversible if treatment provided rapidly to prevent progression to irreversible organ dysfunction.
