**2.4 Septic shock**

Septicemia that is resistant to fluid replenishment is known as "septic shock", which leads to hypotension and malfunction of the tissue blood supply. Acidosis, primarily lactic acidosis, oliguria, and changes in consciousness arise from insufficient fluid replacement. When an infectious agent or an infection-activated mediator triggers a systemic and all-encompassing immune response, septic shock results. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) declines as a result of the body's response to the infection [4].
