This is a leading cause of in-hospital death, the 11th cause of all deaths in the US and has a 23-50% mortality rate

What is,

Septic shock

100

Hypotension, Reflex bradycardia, Temperature dysregulation, Flushed skin

What are clinical manifestations of 

neurogenic shock?

100

These two etiologic factors can lead to hypovolemic shock

What is hemorrhage and loss of body water (dehydration, burns, vomiting, diarrhea)

100

Shock will cause a ___________ in urine output?

What is,

Decrease

100

This medication is the first line treatment for anaphylactic shock?

What is 

Epinephrine?

100

Name the most important extrinsic factor that can lead to sepsis

What is 

aseptic technique?

200

Shock from inadequate circulating volume resulting in inadequate cardiac output to meet tissue oxygenation requirements.

What is 

Hypovolemic shock?

200

Hypotension, Wheezing, Itching, Abdominal cramping / Diarrhea

What are clinical manifestations of 

anaphylactic shock

200

A MAP of ____ is needed to adequately perfuse coronary arteries, the brain, and kidneys.

What is 

>60 (60-70)

200

An insufficient amount of oxygen is referred to as this?

What is 

hypoxia?

200

These medications are a first line of defense to restore cardiac function and maintain an adequate MAP?

What are 

vasoactive drugs?

200

This management guideline provides evidence-based practices for treating sepsis and septic shock

What is 

Surviving Sepsis Campaign (www.survivingsepsis.org)

300

These are the 2 most common causes of cardiogenic shock

What is 

acute MI and cardiomyopathy

300

A patient in this stage of shock will have tachycardia, tachypnea, restlessness, and a normal blood pressure

What is 

compensated

300

These 2 granulocytes are responsible for initiating the inflammatory reaction as seen in anaphylactic shock 

What are 

mast cells and basophils

300

What is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure?

What is

pulse pressure? (normal 30-50 mmHg)

300

A patient taking this class of medication will not show tachycardia with shock

What are

beta blockers

300

No matter what type of shock, this must be done to resolve it

What is treat the underlying cause or correct the cause?

400

All types of shock may lead to this if the underlying cause of shock is not corrected

What is 

Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) and death

400

This is a late vital sign indicator of shock decompensation

What is 

hypotension?


400

In anaphylactic shock, a release of biochemical mediators (histamine, heparin, prostaglandins, cytokines) causes _________ and __________ which lead to edema and hypovolemia

What is 

peripheral vasodilation and increased membrane permeability

400

The amount of blood pumped in 1 minute?

What is 

cardiac output?

400

This medication may be used to treat bradycardia caused by the inhibition of baroreceptors in neurogenic shock

What is 

atropine?

400

This can be used as a quick, noninvasive procedure to diagnosis cardiogenic shock

What is 

echocardiography?

500

The 2 major causes of neurogenic shock

What is any disruption of the SNS with most common being spinal cord injury and spinal anesthesia?

500

3 physical findings to quickly assess perfusion

What is 

capillary refill, skin temperature, and color

500

An increase in this biomarker signifies a bacterial infection and is used to guide antibiotic treatment

What is 

procalcitonin

500

When the body temperature is dependent on the environment and is responsible for hypothermia for patients in neurogenic shock

What is 

poikilothermic?

500

The time frame for starting broad spectrum antibiotics if sepsis is suspected

What is within 

1 hour or less and AFTER blood cultures are drawn.

500

This is a priority nursing intervention for hypovolemic shock

What is establish 2 large bore IVs?

600

Regardless of the etiologic factors, death occurs from ________________ because of the failure of the circulation to meet the oxygen needs of the cell.

What is, 

Ineffective Tissue Perfusion!!

600

Symptoms that a patient may complain of when in shock (list 4)

What is 

nausea, thirst, weakness, fear, anxiety, dizziness

600

Adequate delivery of oxygen to tissues are dependent on these three factors

What is

Pulmonary gas exchange (ventilation and oxygenation), cardiac function (CO, contractility, MAP), hemoglobin (carries O2).

600

This is a byproduct of hypoxic anaerobic metabolism and should be drawn within three hours once sepsis is suspected.

What is 

serum lactate 

(blood cultures are also needed within 3 hours)

600

The class of medications that strengthen the force of the heartbeat (contractility) 

What are

Postive Inotropes 

600

This is the #1 way to prevent any type of shock    

What is identify patients at risk, thorough assessment, notice trends in vital signs and labs
