Acute circulatory failure or shock is a state of body in which there is inadequate cardiac output with compensatory vasoconstriction and tissue hypoperfusion. This tissue hypoperfusion causes cellular injury which can be reversed only if not prolonged for long time and prompt treatment is given at time. But it becomes irreversible if not treated at time.
Symptoms-
2. Hypotension.
3. Usually there is cold skin in shock but in septic shock extremities are warm in initial stages.
4. Cheyne-stokes breathing.
5. Tachypnoea, low systolic blood pressure.
6. Decreased urine output.
7. Multiple organ system failure.
8. Acute renal failure.
9. Hyperkalaemia, cyanosis, acidosis.
