Types of Shock
This type of shock occurs when the heart fails to pump effectively.
Cardiogenic
This is the main problem in hypovolemic shock.
Decreased preload / circulating volume
Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given within this timeframe after recognition of septic shock.
What is one hour?
Warm, flushed skin may be seen in this type of shock.
What is Septic Shock?
A motor vehicle accident with massive blood loss is most likely to cause this type of shock
What is hypovolemic shock?
This type of shock occurs when blood volume is too low
Hypovolemic
In cardiogenic shock, this cardiac output measurement decreases
Stroke volume/cardiac output
This is the first-line medication for treating anaphylactic shock.
What is epinephrine?
Crackles in the lungs, weak pulse, cool, clammy skin, hypotension, and pulmonary congestion are common in this type of shock.
What is Cardiogenic?
A myocardial infarction is the most common cause of this type of shock.
What is cardiogenic shock?
A spinal cord injury above T6 can lead to this type of shock.
Neurogenic
Widespread vasodilation and loss of vascular tone describe this shock
Neurogenic
Mechanical support devices like intra-aortic balloon pump may be required in this shock.
Cardiogenic
A hallmark symptom of neurogenic shock is this vital sign change
What is Bradycardia?
Pneumonia, urinary tract infections, or indwelling catheters can lead to this life-threatening type of shock.
What is septic shock?
This type of shock is caused by a physical obstruction to blood flow
Obstructive
SIRS criteria require abnormalities in how many of the 4 vital sign/lab categories?
2
The first step in treating hypovolemic shock.
Replace fluids
MODS often begins with failure of this organ system
What is Respiratory?
In this stage of shock, organ damage is severe and unresponsive to treatment, often leading to death.
What is the refractory stage of shock?
This type of shock is triggered by overwhelming infection
Septic
MODS is the progressive dysfunction of this many organ systems
2 or more
In obstructive shock due to tension pneumothorax, this immediate intervention is needed
Needle decompression / chest tube
This type of shock may present with a low apical heart rate, such as 48 beats per minute, due to loss of sympathetic nervous system stimulation
What is neurogenic shock?
This stage of shock is characterized by a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, causing lactic acid buildup.
What is the initial stage of shock?
