Shock

is a condition in severe vascular insufficiency, accompanied by

severe violations of the functions of vital organs, primarily-blood circulation

and breathing.

Types of shock: infectious-toxic, anaphylactic, traumatic, hemorrhagic, hy-

povolemic, cardiogenic. Hemorrhagic one occurs with blood loss, not associat-

ed with trauma. Hypovolemic shock is due to the loss of plasma and other fluids

(diarrhea, emacious vomiting, large burn surface, acute pancreatitis, peritonitis,

intestinal obstruction, etc.). Toxic, anaphylactic, neurogenic types occur as a re-

sult of a sharp expansion of the vascular bed without external and internal fluid

loss, that is, with relative hypovolemia. Traumatic-due to massive tissue injury

and severe blood loss.

Help is the treatment of the underlying disease that caused the shock.
