Shock and Its Management
Shock taught as a reasoning problem rather than a list: start from systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output, work out which type of shock the patient is in, and let that drive resuscitation. Built around real case scenarios.

- High versus low resistance and what each implies
- The factors of cardiac output: rate and stroke volume
