Hypovolemic
Type of shock that involves decrease in intravascular volume of 15% or more
What is hypovolemic shock?
This shock is often characterized by cyanosis
What is Cardiogenic Shock?
This type of shock occurs when there is a loss of sympathetic nervous
system function, often following a spinal cord injury.
What is neurogenic shock?
This class of medication is often administered IV in septic shock to increase blood
pressure by constricting blood vessels.
What are vasopressors?
Symptoms may occur within 20 minutes of contact and this shock progresses rapidly.
What is anaphylactic shock.
These two vital signs are commonly observed in a patient experiencing hypovolemic
shock.
What is rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure?
What are MI, Cardiac arrest, cardiac tamponade, dysrhythmias, and electrolyte imbalances in context to cardiogenic shock?
What are the causes of cardiogenic shock
Neurogenic shock is typically caused by damage to this part of the body, which affects
blood vessel tone and heart rate.
What is the spinal cord?
What is the hallmark sign of septic shock that can lead to inadequate perfusion?
What is hypotension?
This leads to widespread vasodilation, pooling of blood in periphery and hypovolemia. The
priority intervention is administering this medication.
What is epinephrine
This initial treatment approach for restoring blood volume in patients with hypovolemic
shock.
What is fluid resuscitation?
Oxygen, IV fluids, medications that increase cardiac output, and ECMO
What are treatments
Neurogenic shock can be caused by damage to the spinal cord above this
specific vertebra, where the sympathetic nervous system's control over blood vessels is
impaired.
What is the T6?
Weakness, warm flushed skin, fever, and chills are signs and symptoms of what
phase?
what is the warm phase? (septicemia)
These are responsible for vasodilation during anaphylactic shock
What are histamines
These are two primary causes of hypovolemic shock.
What are severe dehydration and traumatic blood loss?
This is the main cause of compromised pumping ability of the heart which occurs in the presence of adequate intravascular volume:
What is MI
Neurogenic shock can lead to a decrease in this key vital sign, which is
important for ensuring enough blood flow to the brain and organs.
What is heart rate
What complication results from septic shock and is characterized by simultaneous
bleeding and clotting throughout the vasculature?
what is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?
This position is best for patients going through anaphylactic shock
What is Trendelenburg
This serious complication can occur if hypovolemic shock is not promptly treated,
leading to inadequate perfusion of vital organs.
What is organ failure?
The priority interventions for cardiogenic shock is:
O2 therapy and increasing cardiac output (inotropes and vasopressors)
Following administration of vasopressors, you should monitor blood
pressure, heart rate, and this other finding.
What is urine output?
Septic shock is associated with excessive production of these proteins leading to
widespread inflammation.
what are cytokines?
These two cell types are responsible for release of histamines
What are mast cells and basophils
