Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common pathway in all types of shock is impairment of cellular metabolism as a result of decreased delivery of oxygen and nutrients, which are frequently coupled with an increased demand, the consumption of oxygen and nutrients, and a decreased removal of cellular waste products. Eventually organ dysfunction and failure do occur. Urine excretion diminishes as the kidneys fail from lack of perfusion or due to hypovolemic shock and volume loss.
