What is tachycardia and hypotension?

100

The main focus of treatment for shock.

What is restoring tissue oxygen delivery and perfusion?

100

This medication is used in anaphylaxis.

What is epinephrine?

200

Shock related to systemic infection.

What is septic shock?

200

Shock will cause a _____ in urine output.

What is decrease?

200

Three physical findings to assess perfusion.

What is cap refill, skin temperature, and color of extremities?

200
Treat cardiogenic shock by decreasing afterload and preload.

What is vasodilators?

300

Shock secondary to an allergic reaction.

What is anaphylactic shock?

300

Early mental status changes associated with shock.

What are anxiety, confusion, and restlessness?

300

Cardiac monitor readings that will help in cardiac function assessment.

What are heart rate, blood pressure, pulse pressure, and pulse ox?

300
Treatment for hypovolemic shock by providing volume replacement

What is isotonic crystalloids or colloids, including blood products - 0.9% NaCL or LR.

400

Fluid volume is not affected by this type of shock

What is cardiogenic shock?

400

First indicator of progression from compensated to decompensated shock.

What is hypotension?

400

Cardiac monitor readings that help in respiratory/pulmonary function assessment.

What are respiratory rate, pulse ox, and capnography?

400

This vasoactive drug is usually used first in septic shock.

What is Dopamine?

500

This type of shock is related to the hearts inability to pump blood effectively around the body

What is cardiogenic shock?

500

The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

What is pulse pressure?

(normal range 30-50 mmHg)

500

This patient in shock has tachycardia, tachypnea, restlessness, and a normal blood pressure.

What is compensated shock?

500

These medications help to maintain blood pressure and venous return during shock resuscitation.

What are dopamine and epinephrine (cold shock) and norepinephrine (warm shock)?

600

This type of shock leads to destruction of fibers that cause vasoconstriction.

What is neurogenic shock?

600

The 3 stages of shock progression if untreated or inadequately treated.

What are compensated shock, decompensated shock, and irreversible shock?

600

Ways of rapid fluid administration during resuscitation.

What are pressure bags and push/pull?

600

Used to create vasoconstriction & increase SVR, which increases BP.

What is vasopressin- pituitary hormone

700

The most important thing to successfully manage shock.

What is early recognition?

700

Three physiologic responses common to all types of shock:

What is hypoperfusion of tissues, hypermetabolism, and activation of inflammatory responses?

700

Patient taking this class of medication will not show tachycardia with shock.

What is beta blocker.
