Hi:

How does extreme nerve excitation cause shock?

Quote from the below site:

http://books.google.com/books?id=AB...&q="extensive superficial burn" shock&f=false

"An extensive superficial burn produces great immediate shock, due to involvement of so many sensory nerve endings in the skin".

What is the mechanism by which this shock occurs?

Is this shock fatal?


Thanks,
