In physiology and medicine, shock is "a pathological condition manifested by failure to perfuse or oxygenate vital organs."[1]
Classification
- Cardiogenic shock
- Septic shock
- Hypovolemic shock
Diagnosis
The physical examination, by estimating skin temperature and central venous pressure (>7 cmH2O), can frequently distinguish the type of shock that a patient has.[2]
