Abstract

Shock is characterized by inadequate oxygen supply to cells and tissues. A Patient experiencing shock may have high blood pressure, normal blood pressure, or low blood pressure. At the beginning, the consequences of shock can be reversed, but if not managed promptly and effectively, they can result in irreversible failure of multiple organs and ultimately lead to death. This review will explore the most recent evidence regarding the optimal initial approach for managing a patient experiencing suspected undifferentiated shock.
