Progressive Stage of Shock Compensatory mechanisms are failing, anaerobic metabolism fails to maintain energy needs. Profound vasodilation from SNS failure results in ischemia, increasing lactic acid, metabolic acidosis, increased capillary pressure/interstitial edema, altered cellular functioning and cell membrane permeability (lysosomes released and auto-digest cells). Refractory Stage of Shock Irreversible changes in organ function, may patients won't survive. Tissue perfusion worse...
