When tissue hypoxia starts to create multi organ failure/dysfunction each organ system suffers and often influences negatively the state of shock . Many vicious cycles are at play in decompensated shock stages. If treatment of the shock's cause is not successful or delayed, these vicious cycles fuel and exacerbate the downhill course.
