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.
A false statement regarding shock is that it only occurs due to low blood volume. While hypovolemic shock is one type, shock can also result from other causes, such as cardiogenic shock (due to heart failure), septic shock (due to severe infection), and neurogenic shock (due to spinal cord injury). Each type has distinct underlying mechanisms and requires different management approaches.
septic shock
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.

The most common type of shock-related injuries include traumatic injuries from accidents or falls, which can lead to significant blood loss and subsequent hypovolemic shock. Other common causes are septic shock from severe infections, cardiogenic shock from heart-related issues, and anaphylactic shock due to severe allergic reactions. Each type typically results in decreased blood flow and oxygen to vital organs, necessitating prompt medical intervention.
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.
