Shock, medical emergency

Lo-shock-emergenza-medica

It may happen that the circulation of blood through the body undergoes a sudden change giving rise to a condition of physiological shock, with decreased flow and crisis on the part of vital organs.

Shock can be classified according to its main cause:

  • Cardiogenic shock: if due to cardiac dysfunction the heart does not pump enough blood to flush the body and organs, thus creating the conditions for shock.
  • Septic shock: if caused by a bacterial infection.
  • Anaphylactic shock: caused by an allergic reaction to food, drugs or insect stings.
  • Neurogenic shock: caused by trauma or injury to the spinal cord.
  • Hypovolemic shock: caused by substantial loss of body fluids.
