PY - 2017 T2 - Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - Shock is a clinical condition that occurs when there is inadequate delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues. If left untreated, shock results in irreversible cell and organ damage and death. The clinician must be able to recognize shock early, initiate therapy rapidly, and arrange safe transport of the patient to an intensive care facility. These lifesaving tasks require that the clinician have a fundamental knowledge of the causes, presentations, therapies, and complications of shock.
