There can be respiration in shock, and in clinical practice shock is generally categorized into four main types, such as hypovolemic shock, distributive shock, obstructive shock and cardiogenic shock. These four types of shock have a certain effective blood volume deficiency, mainly due to a series of pathophysiological changes caused by the lack of effective circulating blood volume, often does not have a great impact on the patient’s breathing. However, if the shock can not be corrected in time, the further development of metabolic acidosis may occur, which often affects the patient’s respiration, and the progressive aggravation of shock will affect the patient’s consciousness, which will also affect the respiration. Overall, patients with respiration in shock need to be corrected as soon as possible to prevent shock from having an inhibitory effect on respiration.
