What are the classifications of shock? These three are the most common

Generally speaking, there are many types of shock in clinical practice. Therefore, people need to understand the specific classification of shock in advance. So, what are the categories of shock?

1. Hemorrhagic shock

When blood loss is less than 10% of the total blood volume within 15 minutes, the body can maintain blood pressure and tissue blood perfusion in a stable state through compensation. However, if blood loss rapidly exceeds about 20% of the total blood volume, shock can be caused, and blood loss exceeding 50% of the total blood volume often quickly leads to death.

A massive loss of body fluids causes a sharp decrease in effective circulating blood volume and can also lead to shock. Common symptoms include severe vomiting, diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, heavy sweating, etc.

(II) Burn shock

Large-area burns accompanied by massive plasma exudation can cause burn shock. The occurrence of this type of shock is associated with decreased blood volume and pain. If infection occurs in the late stage, it may develop into septic shock.

(III) Traumatic shock

Severe trauma can result in traumatic shock, which is associated with pain and blood loss.
