Types of Shock
This type of shock results from a significant loss of intravascular volume and requires immediate fluid replacement
Hypovolemic shock
Two or more of these findings define SIRS
This catecholamine vasopressor is first-line for septic shock to raise BP through vasoconstriction
Norepinephrine
A patient with PE may present with this triad of symptoms
dyspnea, tachypnea, and pleuritic chest pain
oral
A patient in cardiogenic shock often requires this mechanical device to improve cardiac output and coronary perfusion
intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)
The fluid resuscitation protocol for sepsis recommends administering this amount of isotonic fluid per kilogram
30mL/kg
This inotrope increases myocardial contractility without significantly increasing HR
Dobuatime
This lab test shows the degree of fibrinolysis and is often elevated in both PE and DIC
D Dimer
hypertensive emergency
Distributive shock caused by massive vasodilation due to histamine release is known as this
anaphylactic shock
The best indicator that early sepsis has progressed to septic shock is this hemodynamic change
hypotension unresponsive to fluids
A hypertensive emergency may be treated with this IV calcium channel blokcer
nicardipine
Early in DIC, the platelet count drops below this threshold
140,000
During an acute aortic dissection, the BP goal is to reduce systolic to this range with how many minutes
100-120mmHg and within 20 minutes
This type of shock occurs when the heart cannot fill or pump properly due to external pressure, such as in cardiac tamponade
obstructive shock
This biomarker is used to detect bacterial infection and guide antibiotic therapy in sepsis
procalcitonin
This nitrate causes vasodilation, reducing both preload and afterload
nitroglycerin
Definitive diagnosis of PE is made using this imaging test
spiral CT scan (CT pulmonary angiography)
Aneurysms most commonly occur at this location along the aorta
below the renal arteries and above the iliac birfucation
Neurogenic shock results from loss of sympathetic tone below the level of injury, often causing these two hallmark symptoms
hypotension and bradycardia
The SOFA score evaluates dysfunction in six organ systems, name THREE
respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological
This anticoagulant is used in DIC to prevent new clots while replacing clotting factors
DIC treatment includes replacing these four blood products
platelets, plasma, FFP, and cryoprecipitate
After peripheral bypass surgery, a nurse's first assessment priority is this
check distal pulses and perfusion
