Three stages of shock
Compensatory stage
The body activates neural, hormonal and biochemical mechanisms in an attempt to overcome the increasing consequences of anaerobic metabolisms and maintain homeostasis
Progressive stage
Begins as the compensatory mechanisms fail. Changes in the patients mental state are important findings in this stage
Irreversible stage
This happens when there is decreased perfusion from peripheral vasoconstriction and decreased CO exacerbate anaerobic metabolism
