Conceptual Framework for Shock Assessment
A key framework for understanding shock categorizes it into three main problems: pump issues, pipe problems, and tank problems. Pump problems include cardiogenic and obstructive shock, which affect cardiac output either intrinsically or extrinsically. Pipe problems are characterized by distributive shock, where systemic vascular resistance decreases due to pathological vasodilation. Lastly, tank problems refer to hypovolemic shock, resulting from insufficient fluid volume, fundamentally presenting distinct physiological challenges to patient management.
