Shock Shock is a syndrome characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism. This results in an imbalance between the supply of and demand for oxygen and nutrients. The exchange of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level is essential to life. When a cell experiences a state of hypoperfusion‚ the demand for oxygen and nutrients exceeds the supply at the microcirculatory level. Classification of Shock The four main categories of shock are * cardiogenic‚: *
