I have been a Paramedic for ten years and have always wanted to know the 
answer to this question.  I have asked many physicians and other health 
care professionals and have yet to come with an answer.  Diaphoresis is a 
sign of shock in the hemodynamically unstable patient, but what 
physiological mechanism is going on to cause diaphoresis?
