=== Shock ===
[[Shock (circulatory)|Shock]], also known as Inadequate Tissue Perfusion, is a life-threatening condition that occurs as a result of the disruption to 3 major components of the [[Circulatory system|cardiovascular system]]: Heart Function, Blood Vessel Function, and Blood Volume. [[Perfusion]] describes the process of adequate blood flow to the organs, where the waste and reactants that are involved in [[cellular respiration]] are removed or transported throughout the 3 parts of the cardiovascular system for [[metabolism]] to be processed effectively.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Surgeons |first=American Academy of Orthopaedic |title=Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured Essentials Package |date=2021-02-24 |publisher=Jones & Bartlett Learning |isbn=978-1-284-22722-2 |edition=12th |language=English}}</ref> However, if one part were to fail, important resources for cellular respiration such as [[oxygen]] would not be able to reach the organs that needs it function.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Shock |url=https://medlineplus.gov/shock.html |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=medlineplus.gov}}</ref> In an attempt to compensate, the body diverts blood to organs that cannot tolerate the lack of blood, such as the heart and the brain, resulting in widespread [[vasoconstriction]], or thinning of the blood vessels.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Services |first=Department of Health & Human |title=Shock |url=http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/shock |access-date=2024-04-29 |website=www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au |language=en}}</ref> Consequently, blood is prevented from reaching organs that can tolerate the lack of perfusion, or hypoperfusion, in organs such as the skin, resulting in the typical presentation of pale and clammy skin conditions during [[Shock (circulatory)|shock]]. Moreover, disruptions may present specifically to each component or multiple systems may be affected at the same time, which generally results in the 3 designated types of shock: [[Obstructive shock|Obstructive]], [[Distributive shock|Distributive]], [[Hypovolemic shock|Hypovolemic]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Patel |first1=Samir |last2=Holden |first2=Kyle |last3=Calvin |first3=Bob |last4=DiSilvio |first4=Briana |last5=Dumont |first5=Tiffany |date=July–September 2022 |title=Shock |url=https://journals.lww.com/ccnq/abstract/2022/07000/shock.4.aspx |journal=Critical Care Nursing Quarterly |language=en-US |volume=45 |issue=3 |pages=225 |doi=10.1097/CNQ.0000000000000407 |pmid=35617089 |issn=0887-9303|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Typically, patients would have a presentation of shock at the [[Cryptic shock|Compensated]], Decompensated, and Irreversible Stage.<ref>{{Citation |last1=Haseer Koya |first1=Hayas |title=Shock |date=2024 |work=StatPearls |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK531492/ |access-date=2024-04-29 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=30285387 |last2=Paul |first2=Manju}}</ref>
