• Septic shock is caused by microorganisms in the bloodstream. • Anaphylactic shock is caused by a severe allergic reaction. • Cardiogenic shock is caused by the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively. • Neurogenic shock is caused by extreme emotional upset due to personal tragedy or disaster. Where can I find more information and statistics about trauma and shock? • The CDC’s Injury Topics and Fact Sheets provide information about general injury and acute care, unintentional injury, and injury caused by violence. • The CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control has a searchable database for leading causes of death among all age groups.
