End-stage septic shock is associated with decreased systemic vascular resistance, decreased cardiac output, decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, decreased central venous pressure, and increased mixed venous oxygen saturation. Septic shock is different from hypovolemic shock in that the systemic vascular resistance is decreased, whereas it is increased in hypovolemic shock. Septic shock is a medical emergency caused by decreased tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery as a result of severe infection and sepsis, though the microbe may be systemic or localized to a particular site. It can cause multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (formerly known as multiple organ failure) and death. Its most common victims are children, immunocompromised individuals, and the elderly, as their immune systems cannot deal with the infection as effectively as those of healthy adults. The mortality rate from septic shock is reported to be as high as 25%-50%.
