Shock is a life-threatening condition occurring in a body when oxygen to tissues and cells are inadequate, usually from disrupted blood flow
Shock develops in three stages or events for one reason or another; blood volume decreases, which then causes the heart to fail as a pump, causing blood vessels to dilate peripherally, leading the body to try to compensate. As compensation ensues, shock progresses, and if left uncorrected, organs become damaged and death is ultimate. a. What are the four types of shock and how do they affect the body? b. What are the three categories of distributive shock? c. What are the stages of shock?
