The term ‘shock’ is used to denote a pathological process, but in clinical practice it must be recognized by clinical methods. Successful treatment requires both the haemodynamic abnormality and also the causal disease to be defined. Because of the dynamic nature of the shock process and the multiplicity of the precipitating causes the clinical signs vary with time and also from case to case. Nevertheless, certain broad patterns tend to occur and their relationship to diagnosis and treatment are discussed.
“休克”一词用于表示一种病理过程，但在临床实践中必须通过临床方法来识别。成功的治疗需要明确血流动力学异常以及引发疾病。由于休克过程的动态性质和促发原因的多样性，临床体征会随时间变化，且因病例而异。然而，某些大致的模式往往会出现，并将讨论它们与诊断和治疗的关系。
