33. The three stages of shock are: Stage 1: Compensated shock - At this stage, the blood pressure is maintained; however, there is a arrowing of the pulse pressure, which is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures.  Treatment at this stage will typically result in recovery. Stage 2: Decompensated shock - At this stage, the blood pressure is falling because the blood volume has dropped 15 - 25%.  The compensatory mechanisms are beginning to fail and signs and symptoms of shock are much more obvious.  At this point, vasoconstriction can have a disastrous effect if allowed to continue.  Treatment at this stage will sometimes result in recovery. Stage 3: Irreversible shock - Shock has progressed to a terminal stage.  Arterial blood pressure is abnormally low.  There are life-threatening reductions in cardiac output, blood pressure, and tissue perfusion.  Even aggressive treatment at this stage does not normally result in recovery.
