septic shock
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.
Intrinsic pump failure is characteristic of cardiogenic shock. This type of shock occurs when the heart's ability to pump blood is compromised due to conditions like myocardial infarction, severe heart failure, or cardiomyopathy. As a result, there is inadequate cardiac output, leading to insufficient blood flow to organs and tissues, which can be life-threatening if not addressed promptly.

cardiogenic
The B-type Natriuretic Peptide test, is a blood test which is looking for any type of heart failure. The level of BNP increases when there are symptoms of heart failure.
Macro shock is the more common type of shock. A macro shock occurs when the human body acts as a conductor in areas other than the heart.

sub surface burst
This results in aplastic anemia.
The type of shock that causes poor distribution of blood due to the blood vessels becoming excessively dilated is known as "distributive shock." This condition often occurs in septic shock, where an infection leads to widespread vasodilation, or in neurogenic shock, which results from spinal cord injuries. The dilated blood vessels cause a drop in blood pressure and inadequate blood flow to organs, leading to potential organ failure.
sub-surface burst
The type of shock that results from bacterial toxins in the blood is known as septic shock. Septic shock is a severe condition that occurs when an overwhelming immune response to an infection triggers widespread inflammation, causing blood pressure to drop dangerously low. It is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment with antibiotics and supportive care.
