endotoxic shock. Septic shock due to release of endotoxins by gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides in the cell walls that are released during both reproduction and destruction of the bacteria.
Cardiogenic shock is defined by sustained low blood pressure with tissue hypoperfusion despite adequate left ventricular filling pressure. Signs of tissue hypoperfusion include oliguria. Treatment of cardiogenic shock depends on the cause. If due to a heart attack attempts to opening the arteries to the heart may help. An intra-aortic balloon pump or left ventricular assist device may improve matter until this can be done. Inotropes may help; however, it is unclear which is best.
