It’s a life-threatening condition which can develop as a complication of disease, procedure, or trauma. The most common form is septic shock, followed by cardiogenic and hypovolaemic. Shock is an emergent state which requires emergency management. Treatment must be both supportive and, subsequently, targeted against the underlying cause.
