Abstract

Pathogenesis of shock and its treatment are considered. We warn against the excessive use of catecholamines (apart from septic shock).

The term itself, which indicates a blow aggression or intense disequilibrium of the entire organism, is considered by Rushmer and Coll. more “a semantic enigma” than a well-defined concept.
