The present situation can be summarized by immediately stating that there are numerous drugs available for the treatment of shock and almost all of them can be grouped according to their primary actions: [1] predominantly vasoconstrictors; [2] predominantly cardiac stimulants; [3] predominantly vasodilators and [4] miscellaneous group of drugs that block some humoral agents involved in the pathogenesis of shock. The primary purpose of this article is to differentiate drugs belonging to the first three groups in the hope that the selection of the appropriate...References1.
