title: [Physiopathology of the state of shock].
abstract: Shock is a clinical state characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion due to decreased blood volume, inappropriate vasomotor tone or decreased cardiac output. If not rapidly treated this cardiocirculatory failure tends to worsen, with development of cellular damage leading to irreversibility and patient's death. The various etiologies, neurohumoral mechanisms, cellular implications and organ dysfunction observed in shock are reviewed.
