What type of shock develops when there is an overstimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system or understimulation of the sympathetic nervous system?

The end point of burn shock is defined as the time when the individual is able to:

What parameter of stroke volume is affected by cardiogenic shock?

The clinical manifestations of failure of individual organs in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)are caused only by inflammatory mediator damage,tissue hypoxia,and hypermetabolism.

In multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS),organs that show signs of failure are those involved in the initial injury.

In primary multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS),organ injury is directly associated with impaired perfusion.
