===Types===
A subclass of [[distributive shock]], shock refers specifically to decreased tissue [[perfusion]] resulting in end-organ dysfunction.  [[Cytokines]] TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 released in a large scale inflammatory response results in massive [[vasodilation]], increased [[capillary]] permeability, decreased systemic vascular resistance, and [[hypotension]].  Hypotension reduces tissue perfusion pressure and thus tissue [[Hypoxia (medical)|hypoxia]] ensues.  Finally, in an attempt to offset decreased [[blood pressure]], [[ventricular]] dilatation and [[myocardium|myocardial]] dysfunction will occur.
