In which type of shock does the patient experiences a mismatch of blood flow to the cells?
a) Distributive
Distributive or vasogenic shock results from displacement of blood volume, creating a relative hypovolemia.
b) Cardiogenic
Cardiogenic shock results from the failure of a heart as a pump.
c) Hypovolemic
In hypovolemic shock, there is a decrease in the intravascular volume.
d) Septic
In septic shock, overwhelming infection results in a relative hypovolemia.
