Shock is a life-threatening condition characterized by inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery. In this video, we provide a comprehensive, clinically focused review of the four major shock states: distributive, cardiogenic, obstructive, and hypovolemic. We start with a high-yield overview of shock physiology, hemodynamic principles, and bedside differentiation. The video then transitions into deep dives on each shock subtype, with emphasis on underlying pathophysiology, classic clinical presentations, hemodynamics, and evidence-based management strategies. Distributive shock is reviewed with special focus on septic, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is explored in the context of acute myocardial infarction, pump failure, and mechanical circulatory support. Obstructive shock is covered through pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade, and tension pneumothorax. Hypovolemic shock is reviewed with an emphasis on hemorrhagic shock, trauma, and massive transfusion principles. 📚 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.
