Septic shock
Finally, the patient may develop septic shock (also called distributive shock) from volume loss in the core circulation and poor circulatory support.Typically, septic shock causes a life-threatening blood pressure drop, reduced urine output, and body temperature changes—late signs of inadequate tissue oxygenation.Unless detected and treated early, it can spiral quickly into multisystem failure and death. Severe sepsis is the most common cause of death among patients in noncoronary critical care units.
