Shock is defined as a condition where systemic blood pressure is inadequate to deliver oxygen and nutrients to vital organs and cells. There are several types of shock including hypovolemic, cardiogenic, and distributive shock such as septic or anaphylactic shock. Shock progresses through initial, compensatory, progressive, and refractory stages. In the compensatory stage, the body responds through neural and hormonal responses to increase heart rate, vasoconstriction, and release of hormones like adrenaline to maintain blood pressure and perfusion. However, in progressive shock these mechanisms fail, tissues become damaged, and multiple organ dysfunction or death can occur without treatment. Treatment of shock focuses on restoring adequate perfusion through oxygen
