Shock is a reaction by the body to a general lack of oxygen in the body's tissues, due to a lack of blood circulating around the body. A decrease in blood pressure reduces the flow of oxygen to the vital organs. If the blood flow is not restored, the person may die from complications due to lack of oxygen supply to major organs.

Shock can be the result of a number of causes, such as:

  • respiratory arrest
  • spinal injury
  • severe blood loss
  • severe traumatic injury
  • severe pain

Shock is the body's reaction to injury and trauma.
