More Details:
In addition, there are only four major categories of shock, each of which is mainly related to one of four organ systems.
Hypovolemic shock relates to the blood and fluids compartment while distributive shock relates to the vascular system;
cardiogenic shock arises from primary cardiac dysfunction; and obstructive shock arises from a blockage of the circulation.
Hypovolemic shock is due to intravascular volume loss and is treat by fluid replacement with balanced crystalloids.
More so, distributive shock, on the other hand, is a state of relative hypovolemia resulting from pathological redistribution of the absolute intravascular volume and is treat with a combination of vasoconstrictors and fluid replacement.
Also, cardiogenic shock is due to inadequate function of the heart, which shall be treat, depending on the situation, with drugs, surgery, or other interventional procedures.
In obstructive shock, hypoperfusion due to elevated resistance shall be treat with an immediate life-saving intervention.
Lastly, the new classification is intend to facilitate the goal-driven treatment of shock in both the pre-hospital and the inpatient setting.
A uniform treatment strategy should be in establishment for each of the four types of shock.
