1. Shock is defined as inadequate tissue perfusion leading to cellular injury and death. It results from disturbances in circulating volume, cardiac output, or vasomotor tone. 2. The main classifications of shock are hypovolemic, cardiogenic, and distributive shock. As shock progresses, multiple disturbances can occur. 3. The pathophysiology of shock involves compensatory mechanisms to restore circulating volume and perfusion at early stages, but these become insufficient with more severe blood loss, leadi
