About this document
Compensatory Mechanisms in Shock by Wan Razin Wan Hassan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the compensatory mechanisms that occur in the early stages of circulatory shock to maintain adequate tissue perfusion. It describes how the sympathetic nervous system and neurohormonal responses increase heart rate, stroke volume, and vascular tone. It also discusses longer-term compensatory mechanisms like increased erythropoietin and plasma protein synthesis. When these compensatory mechanisms fail, the shock progresses to decompensated shock, which can lead to multiple organ dysfu
