The classification and the haemodynamic profiles of shock
A CICM Second-Part SAQ on shock classification — the four types (distributive, cardiogenic, hypovolaemic, obstructive) by the failed determinant of oxygen delivery, the warm-vs-cold and the high-vs-low output profiles, and how each directs the resuscitation.
