Abstract

This is a brief, systematic and applied review of the classification, diagnosis and treatment of patients with circulatory shock. Conceptual aspects and clinical, hemodynamic and metabolic findings are specially emphasized providing a better shock characterization and understanding. Finally, basic principles of volume expansion and pharmacological interventions (vasopressor and cardiotonic agents, vasodilators) are rationalized.
