Circulatory shock, or simply 'shock' is a life-threatening medical condition. One is in shock when blood isn't sufficient to supply the brain with oxygen. The shock is progressive and it can be deadly if it is not made well quickly.

What are the 4 different types of hypoperfusion?

Think of the circulatory system as a tank with a pump and pipes. The tank is the human body, the pump is the heart, and the vessels are the pipes. You can have pump failure that causes shock - the pump just doesn't work well. Cardiogenic Shock. You can have a break in the pipe - you lose volume. Hypovolemic shock. You can have the pipes get bigger, wider. Neurological shock. You can also have a psychogenic type shock. Nothing is wrong with the pump, pipes, or volume but you see something your mind just can't handle and you faint. Neurological shock is normally an anaphalactic type response. Isolated head trauma rarely causes shock.


What are four different causes of circulatory failure?

Cardiogenic shock- results from any type of heart failure. Hypovolemic shock- results from the loss of blood volume in the blood vessels "low blood". Neurogenic shock- results from widespread dilation of blood vessels caused by an imbalance in autonomic stimulation of smooth muscles in vessel walls. Anaphylactic- results from an acute allergic reactioncalled anaphylaxis.
