The 4 Types of Shock
Inadequate function of the heart (pump failure) due to damage to the heart tissue
What is cardiogenic shock?
Early stage of shock when the body can compensate for blood loss
What is compensated shock?
The position that patient should be placed in if shock is suspected with head trauma
What is supine?
EVERY patient experiencing signs/symptoms of shock should be treated by:
A) Give oral glucose, administer high flow oxygen
B) Shock with AED
C) Lay patient supine, administer high flow oxygen
D) Lay patient in recovery position, give naloxone
What is "C) Lay patient supine, administer high flow oxygen"?
Inadequate amount of fluid/volume in circulatory system
What is hypovolemic shock?
A cause of obstructive shock characterized by a blood clot in the lung vasculature
What is pulmonary embolism?
In a case of decompensated shock, an adult patient’s systolic blood pressure falls under ___ mmHg
What is 90?
Which of the following would MOST likely result in hemorrhagic shock?
A) Severe vomiting
B) Liver laceration
C) Excessive sweating
D) Repeated diarrhea
What is "B) Liver laceration"?
Mechanical obstruction that prevents adequate volume of blood to fill heart chambers
What is obstructive shock?
Late stage of shock when the blood pressure is falling and the body can no longer compensate for the loss of blood
What is decompensated shock?
A patient presents with wheezing breath sounds after exposure to an allergen. They are most likely experiencing what category of shock
What is anaphylactic shock?
Neurogenic shock occurs when:
A) Failure of the nervous system causes widespread vasodilation.
B) The spinal cord is severed and causes massive hemorrhaging.
C) There is too much blood to fill a smaller vascular container.
D) Massive vasoconstriction occurs distal to a spinal cord injury.
What is "A) Failure of the nervous system causes widespread vasodilation."?
Widespread dilation of small arterioles and/or small venules because of container failure
What is distributive shock?
The heart, vasculature, and blood are the three components that make up the
A patient states he has had chest pain for the past 2 hours and is now feeling weak, with a blood pressure of 96/60. They are most likely experiencing what category of shock
What is cardiogenic shock?
Shock is the result of:
A) The body's maintenance of homeostasis.
B) Hypoperfusion to the cells of the body.
C) Temporary dysfunction of a major organ.
D) Widespread constriction of the blood vessels.
What is "B) Hypoperfusion to the cells of the body."?
