#197 Comparing Shock States | Hypovolemic vs Cardiogenic vs Distributive vs Obstructive

Shock is a life-threatening condition encountered daily in Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, and the ICU — yet it’s often taught in fragmented algorithms rather than unified physiology.

In this episode, we break down all major shock states in a clear, structured way:

🔹 Hypovolemic shock

🔹 Cardiogenic shock

🔹 Obstructive shock

🔹 Distributive shock (septic, anaphylactic, neurogenic)
