Shock is a medical condition caused by a drop in blood pressure and blood flow through the body that is severe enough to impair normal organ function. There are different types of shock including hypovolemic, septic, and cardiogenic shock. Treatment focuses on following the ABCs - airway, breathing, circulation - and restoring blood volume and pressure through intravenous fluids like crystalloids and blood products as well as identifying and controlling any source of bleeding through surgery if needed.
