Septic Shock:
related to autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to
hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis.
Defined as ↓ elasticity of myocardium leading to impaired diastolic filling
without significant systolic dysfunction
related to allergic reactions triggered by food or medication, which cause airway
constriction and respiratory Distress.
∙Related to endotoxins released by bacteria, which cause vascular pooling,
diminished venous return, and reduced CO.

Neurogenic Shock:
Hx: classic triad: dyspnea, Wheeze, Cough (esp at night)
Physical exam: prolonged expiration with wheezing, hyperresonance.
∙Failure of the sympathetic nervous system to maintain adequate vascular tone.
∙Usually caused by spinal cord injury or severe head injury.

Smoking cessation (especially for asbestosis)
■ ↓ intake of offending agents. Antacids, sucralfate, H2 blockers, and/or PPIs may help.
■ Triple therapy (amoxicillin, clarithromycin, omeprazole) to treat H. pylori infection.
■ Give prophylactic H2 blockers or PPIs to patients at risk for stress ulcers (e.g., ICU
patients).
