Management of a patient in shock involves immediate assessment and stabilization. First, ensure airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) are secured, often requiring supplemental oxygen and intravenous (IV) access for fluid resuscitation. Administer isotonic fluids, typically crystalloids, to restore blood volume and improve perfusion. Monitor vital signs closely and consider addressing the underlying cause of shock, such as administering medications for septic shock or performing procedures for obstructive shock.
