  • Patient with a 3-day history of profuse nausea/vomiting after significant alcohol consumption who now presents with abdominal pain, hypotension, tachycardia and cool/clammy skin, most consistent with hypovolemic shock
  • Cardiogenic shock: Signs of volume overload (jugular venous distention, lower extremity edema, etc.)
  • Septic shock: Could be seen if patient had sign of perforation (guarding, rebound) and patient would likely have warm and dry skin (because cardiac output is normal/increased and peripheral arterioles are dilated)
