Shock — General Pathology

General Pathology · Basic Sciences

How it begins

El shock es un estado de hipoperfusión tisular aguda y generalizada que resulta en un desequilibrio entre el aporte de oxígeno y los requerimientos metabólicos celulares, conduciendo a disfunción orgánica potencialmente irreversible si no se corrige oportunamente.
