Describe circulatory shock, progressive shock, and irreversible shock

What will be an ideal response?


Circulatory shock occurs when blood loss exceeds about 35 percent of the total blood volume. Circulatory shock involves a series of positive feedback loops that are initiated after homeostasis has been disrupted. Progressive shock is the next stage after circulatory shock. It, too, is a series of positive feedback loops that accelerate tissue damage. Irreversible shock is the fatal stage that occurs if the positive feedback loops initiated during progressive shock are not broken.
