PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Shock is a medical condition in which there is decreased perfusion to tissues resulting in injury to the cells. It is characterized by a mismatch between oxygen delivery and oxygen demand. Subsequently, inflammatory markers are released that further hinder tissue perfusion and result in organ failure or death if not immediately rectified. In some situations, correction of the underlying cause may lead to reversal of this state. However, at times it is irreversible and may progress to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and ultimately death.
