control
bleeding from capillaries, which is characterized by a
capillary bleeding

loss, but by inadequate pumping action of the heart. It
cardiogenic shock
is often the result of a heart attack or congestive heart
failure.
when the patient is developing shock but the body is
compensated shock
still able to maintain perfusion
when the body can no longer compensate for low
decompenstated shock blood volume, or lack of perfusion. Late signs such as
decreasing blood pressure become evident.
hypo perfusion due to a lack of blood vessel tone.
distributive shock Blood vessel dilation leads to decreased pressure
within the circulatory system
