Hypovolemic shock is a life-threatening condition caused by a critical reduction in intravascular volume, leading to decreased preload, reduced cardiac output, and impaired tissue perfusion. One of the most severe and common forms is hemorrhagic shock. In this episode, we begin with a high-yield overview of hypovolemic shock, reviewing core physiology, compensatory mechanisms, hemodynamic patterns, and bedside differentiation from other shock states. We then transition into a deep dive on hemorrhagic shock, including causes such as trauma and gastrointestinal bleeding, classic clinical presentation, laboratory and point-of-care findings, and the pathophysiologic cascade leading to the lethal triad of acidosis, hypothermia, and coagulopathy. Management strategies are discussed in detail, including early hemorrhage control, massive transfusion protocols, balanced blood product resuscitation, permissive hypotension, tranexamic acid, calcium replacement, and key ATLS principles. Landmark trials including CRASH-2 and PROPPR are incorporated to support evidence-based care. 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine Playlist on Shock: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf5bMa9_tvRjunk4I-rQZYPZn3qHqWFqW&si=kserFPPm7RYuhul- DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening systemic hypersensitivity reaction that can rapidly progress to anaphylactic shock, airway compromise, and cardiovascular collapse. Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent mortality. In this episode, we provide a comprehensive review of anaphylaxis, beginning with epidemiology and underlying immunologic mechanisms including IgE-mediated mast cell and basophil activation. We review the pathophysiology of mediator release, vascular permeability, vasodilation, and bronchospasm that drive the clinical syndrome. We then cover classic and atypical symptoms, diagnostic considerations, and bedside evaluation strategies in emergency and critical care settings.

Endocrine shock refers to life-threatening shock states caused by hormonal deficiencies or endocrine crises that impair vascular tone, cardiac output, and metabolism. Unlike other forms of shock, endocrine shock is often diagnosed only after common causes such as sepsis, cardiogenic, or hypovolemic shock have been ruled out. In this episode, we break down the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and hemodynamic patterns of the most important endocrine emergencies: adrenal crisis, myxedema coma, thyroid storm, and severe hypoglycemia. We focus on recognition of key clues such as refractory hypotension, bradycardia, hypothermia, electrolyte abnormalities, and metabolic collapse. Management principles including IV hydrocortisone for adrenal crisis, thyroid hormone replacement for myxedema coma, beta-blockade and thionamides for thyroid storm, and dextrose for hypoglycemia are reviewed alongside guideline-based recommendations.
