Shock as reaction to life-threatening condition needs to be reclassified in a timely and more scientific synopsis. It is not possible or beneficial any longer to avoid a holistic approach in critical illness. Semantics of critical illness has often been unfriendly in the literature and a simplification with the elimination of conceptual pleonasms and misnomers under the exclusive light of physiology and physiopathology would be advantageous. Speaking one language to describe the same phenomenon worldwide is essential for understanding; moreover, it increases focus on characterization and significance of the phenomena.
作为对危及生命状况的反应，休克需要在一个及时且更科学的概要中重新分类。在危重病中避免采用整体方法已不再可行或有益。危重病的语义学在文献中常常不友好，在生理学和病理生理学的唯一视角下简化并消除概念上的冗余和误称将是有利的。在全球范围内用一种语言描述同一现象对于理解至关重要；此外，它还能增强对现象的特征描述和重要性的关注。
