ConclusionConclusion
Early recognition of warning signs and diagnosis in the
reversible phase important for successful management of
shock
Hypovolemia and sepsis account for majority of shock in
surgical patients
Principles of initial resuscitation same irrespective of type
of shock
Ultimate treatment of underlying cause forms cornerstone
of management
