Pharmacotherapy of circulatory shock

Disease-a-Month, 1987
The rubric "shock" encompasses a wide spectrum of critical events, which if untreated, result in morbidity and mortality. Understanding of the various forms of shock has evolved rapidly in the past 20 years as new laboratory and clinical observations have been published. In this article, the authors discuss the physiology of the shock state, review the

Prostaglandin metabolism during circulatory shock

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1977
Abstract The rates of metabolic degradation and the patterns of metabolite formation of tritium-labeled prostaglandins E2 and F2α were assessed in vitro in tissues obtained from normal rabbits and from rabbits subjected to hemorrhagic or endotoxic shock. Normal rabbit tissues metabolized prostaglandin E2 at the following rates: renal cortex 479 ± 34,

Pathogenic Aspects of Circulatory Shock

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 1994
Shock has been described and defined by the inciting cause. This method of categorization does little to clarify common pathophysiologic changes known to occur regardless of the etiology. Each type of shock involves different stages that are determined by the inciting cause, its duration, severity of the initial result, susceptibility of the patient ...

Blood viscosity and circulatory shock

Intensive Care Medicine, 1989
Rheological features of the whole blood and blood components are of potential importance for microcirculatory blood flow in circulatory shock. The relative contribution of vascular geometric and rheological factors to the resistance to blood flow in the various shock states in man, however, are hard to elucidate [73].

Fluid Resuscitation in Circulatory Shock

Critical Care Clinics, 1993
Over the past century, the treatment of various forms of circulatory shock has included fluid resuscitation with either crystalloidal or colloidal solutions. Despite decades of investigation, there still is considerable controversy over the beneficial and adverse effects of each fluid type.

Vasoactive Drugs in Circulatory Shock

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2011
Shock occurs when failure of the cardiovascular system compromises tissue perfusion. When fluid administration fails to restore adequate arterial pressure and organ perfusion in patients with shock, therapy with vasoactive agents should be initiated.

Nitric Oxide and Circulatory Shock

1998
Key discoveries in the past two decades have proved that the vascular endothelium is more than just a passive barrier between blood vessels and tissues, and have led to many important new concepts in vascular biology and pathophysiology.

Circulatory Failure/Shock

2011
Shock is a common manifestation of many forms of critical illness. Although a patient with hypotension can have shock, shock is not necessarily defined by hypotension. That is, a patient can have a “normal” blood pressure and have shock concurrently.
