This happens to the vessels causing and increase of MAP.
What is Vasoconstriction.
One of the four things that influence MAP.
What is total blood volume, Cardiac Output, Size of the vascular bed, or the tissues ability to extract and use oxygen.
The built in compensatory mechanisms that automatically kick in when MAP decreases.
What are Baroreceptors - (in the carotid sinus and aortic arch)?
The most difficult form of shock to treat
What is Neurogenic Shock?
As the body attempts to compensate in hypovolemic or hemorrhagic shock, the heart rate and respiratory rate will initially do this.
What is increase?
In this stage of shock, there is life threatening fluid loss of 30-40%, Oliguria to Anuria, a sustained decrease of MAP > 20 mm Hg, and SEVERE thirst.
What is the Progressive (Intermediate stage - stage 3)?
If urine output decreases as a result of shock, it will damage the kidneys as a result of poor perfusion causing BUN and Creatinine to:
What is increase?
Characterized by muscle weakness, myalgias (muscle pain) and dark urine due to myoglobinuria). Better watch that CPK level!
What is Rhabdomyolysis?
This Vasopressor does different things at different doses.
What is Dopamine? (2-5 mcg/kg/min increases renal perfusion; 5-10 mcg/kg/min can shut down the kidneys; over that has more alpha effect).
The three types of distributive shock.
What are Anaphylactic, Septic and Neurogenic?
