Quick 2 questions regarding shock-
1. Why is that in distributive (sepsis, anaphylaxis, neuro/CNS) shock skin is warm/dry due to vasodilation, but with hypovolemic/cardiogenic/obstructive, the skin is cold+clammy? Doesn't vasodilation also occur?
2. Also I read that:
"Peripheral vascular resistance is increased in cardiogenic shock. This is due to the release of catecholamines, ADH, and angiotensin II in response to the decreased cardiac output."
...but isn't periph vas resistance lowered due to extensive vasodilation? Or did the text mean 'in response to cardiogenic shock, this is what happens'?
Thanks in advance, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
