Shock and Echo Assessment | @MedvarsityOnlineLtd

Shock is a clinical indication of circulatory collapse that has a significant morbidity and fatality rate.

Shock is classified into four types: distributive, cardiogenic, hypovolemic, and obstructive. A thorough grasp of the underlying pathophysiology and clinical, biochemical, and hemodynamic symptoms of the many forms of shock is required for an effective diagnosis.

Echocardiography is used to measure contraction, which is defined as the degree of myocardial fiber shortening during systole. The most prevalent cause of cardiogenic shock is decreased left ventricular contraction significantly.

Dr. Munish Chauhan, Sr. Consultant, Critical Care Medicine, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon explains the types of shock and how an Echocardiography can help diagnose shock.
