AB Shock  involves  a  group  of  syndromes  that  cause  acute,  generalized  circulatory  failure  associated  with  inadequate  tissue  and  organ  perfusion.  Shock  is  characterized  by  systolic  blood  pressure  (SBP)  <90  mm  Hg  (or  reduction  of  at  least  40  mm  Hg  from  baseline)  or  mean  arterial  blood  pressure  (MAP)  <70  mm  Hg  with  tachycardia  and  organ  perfusion  abnormalities.Classes  of  shock  based  on  etiologic  mechanisms  include  (1)  hypovolemic,  (2)  cardiogenic,  (3)  obstructive,  and  (4)  vasodilatory/distributive.  Patients  may  have  components  of  more  than  one  shock  syndrome  upon  presentation.
