Shock. Hemodynamics.Abstract
Circulatory shock is marked by critical reductions on tecidual perfusion, causing severe systemic alterations, impairing cellular and organic function, with a high mortality rate as result. The prompt diagnosis and therapeutics should be based on individual response, emphasizing ventilatory and hemodynamic support. The knowledge of physiopathology directs therapeutic decisions, since the objectives to be reached are based on physiopathology. Several recent therapies are being investigated on patients with circulatoty shock, such as fluid resuscitation, red cells bood substitutes, and therapies directed to mediators (cytokines, endotoxins, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and platelet-activating factor).
