Many factors may contribute to producing a shock state within the surgical environment. The classic causes of shock--hypovolemia, cardiac failure, and sepsis--occur commonly in the operating room. Additionally, concurrent surgery and anesthesia may contribute to produce clinical shock. Surgery may produce hypovolemia from "third space" loss and/or from
