In this first lesson on shock we answer the question, what is shock? We cover all the basics that you need to have a good understanding of what this medical conditionally really is.

In addition to that we take a deep dive in to the shock pathophysiology rabbit hole! We provide a very detailed and thought out explanation of the physiological processes that our body experiences as we find ourselves in a state of shock. While this is quite detailed and complex, we do our best to make this as simple as possible.

Finally, we cover the signs that you would expect to see in a patient who is in shock. These are very important things to recognize in your patient as they can mean the difference between life and death.

Our biggest hope for you to takeaway from these lessons is to understand that shock is a LIFE THREATENING situation for your patients and that quick recognition and intervention can mean the difference between life and death.
