Definitions and Meanings
Shock or circulatory failure is the clinical syndrome that
results from generalized inadequate tissue perfusion
lasting for some time. Where oxygen delivery fails to
meet metabolic requirements of the tissues.
It is defined by the presence of multisystem, end organ
hypo perfusion causing cellular injury.
Cellular injury further compromises perfusion through
functional and structural changes in the
microvasculature through mediators
Thus, setting up a vicious cycle.

• Capp refill good
Take Home Messages
• Shock is an Emergency. Assessment and
resuscitation go hand in hand because time is
critical
• Hypotension is a late feature of shock. Do not
wait for hypotension before starting treatment
• Clinical setting and simple examination of MAP,
pulse pressure, heart rate, JVP and nail cappillary
bed refill can give vital clues. Tachypnea and
sweating should also make you alert.
Take Home Messages
• Urine output is a good indicator of renal (tissue)
perfusion
• Goal of resucitatation is to re establish adequate
tissue perfusion to prevent or minimize end-
organ injury

  • 74. Take Home Messages • Shock is an Emergency. Assessment and resuscitation go hand in hand because time is critical • Hypotension is a late feature of shock. Do not wait for hypotension before starting treatment • Clinical setting and simple examination of MAP, pulse pressure, heart rate, JVP and nail cappillary bed refill can give vital clues. Tachypnea and sweating should also make you alert.
  • 75. Take Home Messages • Urine output is a good indicator of renal (tissue) perfusion • Goal of resucitatation is to re establish adequate tissue perfusion to prevent or minimize end- organ injury
