Recent studies, however, have stressed the importance of a diminished volume of blood and an increased vascular permeability in the production of the shock syndrome.¹ In fact, Moon^1b has defined shock as "the disparity between the volume of blood and the volume-capacity of the vascular system." He has stated that shock may result either from loss of blood or fluid or from atony or dilatation of the vascular walls, especially of the capillaries and venules, combinations of these two factors being the rule.
