Septic shock

Septic shock is a life-threatening complication and the most severe stage of sepsis, representing a state of acute circulatory collapse and cellular dysfunction triggered by a dysregulated systemic host response to infection It primarily affects the cardiovascular and microvascular systems, leading to widespread tissue hypoperfusion, cellular metabolic failure, and progressive multiorgan dysfunction across diverse patient populations

Clinically, it is defined by persistent arterial hypotension requiring vasopressor therapy to maintain adequate perfusion pressure alongside marked cellular hypoperfusion, typically evidenced by hyperlactatemia, despite adequate intravascular volume resuscitation
