ABSTRACT
Shock can be defined as the failure of the circulatory system to provide necessary cellular nutrients, including oxygen, and to remove metabolic wastes. Although it is now recognized that more than 100 different forms of shock exist, this recognition is more a reflection of the widespread use of the term to describe a variety of disease states. For the purpose of this monograph, we concentrate on various forms of cardiovascular shock, in particular, shock that may be linked to inappropriate vasodilation from overproduction of the endogenous vasodilator, nitric oxide. Some forms of shock have been extensively studied, and convincing evidence exists for the role of nitric oxide. Other disease states have been less well characterized in terms of their association with excess nitric oxide production. Available evidence of a role for nitric oxide is discussed in the hope of stimulating the interest of investigators to explore these areas more thoroughly.
