'''Circulatory shock''', often called just '''shock''' is a hemodynamic disturbance which leads to inadequate oxygen supply to organs and tissues of the body. The ensuing tissue hypoxia causes metabolic disorder in the tissues leading to temporary or permanent disturbance of function, and in severe cases to [[necrosis]]. | <section begin="anaesthesia and intensive care" /><section begin="surgery" />'''Circulatory shock''', often called just '''shock''' is a hemodynamic disturbance which leads to inadequate oxygen supply to organs and tissues of the body.

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. | 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. | ||
