  3. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

    At a cellular level, shock is the process of oxygen demand becoming greater than oxygen supply. [6] One of the key dangers of shock is that it progresses by a positive feedback loop. Poor blood supply leads to cellular damage, which results in an inflammatory response to increase blood flow to the affected area.

    This cycle can cause tissue ischemia, a lack of oxygen, and necrosis, or tissue death. [6] [5] [43] Paresthesia, or tingling, can start as early as 30 minutes after tissue ischemia begins. [45] Permanent damage can occur 12 hours after the injury starts. [45] Pathophysiology of Compartment Syndrome. The reduced blood supply can trigger ...
