Types of Shock<\/h2>\r\n

Hypovolemic Shock<\/h3>\r\nCaused by significant loss of blood or body fluids, leading to decreased blood volume. Common causes include severe bleeding, dehydration, diarrhoea, vomiting, or burns.\r\n

Neurogenic Shock<\/h3>\r\nResults from a disruption in the autonomic nervous system, often due to spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries. This leads to severe hypotension (low blood pressure) and bradycardia (slow heart rate).\r\n

Cardiogenic Shock<\/h3>\r\nOccurs when the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs, often triggered by a major heart attack. Not all heart attacks result in cardiogenic shock, but extensive heart damage can impair its function.\r\n

Anaphylactic Shock<\/h3>\r\nA severe allergic reaction to substances such as food, insect stings, or medications. It requires immediate treatment due to its life-threatening nature.\r\n\r\n<\/section>
