Shock, ChildrenAbstract
Shock is a pathophysiologic state characterised by a significant reduction in tissue perfusion and impaired oxygen delivery, resulting in inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to meet tissue metabolic demands. It usually results from a dysfunction in the circulatory system. This hypoxic state leads to anaerobic metabolism at the tissue level and production of lactic acid. As this progresses, there is disruption of cellular function leading to cellular failure and death
