Answer 1

Anaphylactic

Anaphylactic shock begins as an allergic reaction, such as to bee venom. The allergen causes an extensive immune and inflammatory response. The vascular effects include vasodilation and increased vascular permeability.

Answer 2

Identification and treatment of the underlying cause

The most important first-line treatment for shock is to identify and treat the underlying cause. After the underlying cause is detected, treatment is supportive.
