The 15 pages that link to Septic shock, each with the reason it gives.

• SepsisBroader topic: This is the shock state that can follow sepsis when circulatory failure persists.

• Lactic acidosisBroader topic: Sepsis can raise lactate through altered perfusion, cellular metabolism, and clearance.

• Cardiogenic shockCompared with: Sepsis usually causes distributive shock, though it can also impair cardiac function.

• Hypovolemic shockBroader topic: It can resemble hypovolemia clinically, but infection-driven vascular changes are central.

• Tumor necrosis factorRelated: Excessive TNF and other inflammatory signals can contribute to shock during severe infection.

• VasopressorRelated: Vasopressors support arterial pressure when fluids alone do not restore circulation.

• HypotensionBroader topic: Severe infection can produce profound vasodilation and persistent low pressure.

• Fluid resuscitationBroader topic: Initial fluids may support circulation, while repeated dosing requires reassessment for benefit and overload.

• Intensive care medicineBroader topic: It often requires vasopressors, antimicrobial treatment, and close organ monitoring.

• Necrotizing fasciitisBroader topic: Uncontrolled infection can trigger shock as toxins and inflammation spread beyond the affected tissue.

• Anaphylactic shockCompared with: Both may involve vasodilation and low blood pressure, but infection drives septic shock.

• Obstructive shockCompared with: It is usually distributive, contrasting with the mechanical cause of obstructive shock.

• Distributive shockBroader topic: It is a common distributive syndrome driven by infection and dysregulated host response.

• Neurogenic shockCompared with: Both can cause vasodilation, but infection and its systemic effects define septic shock.

• Bloodstream infectionBroader topic: Some bloodstream infections progress to septic shock when infection triggers profound circulatory failure.
