Shocking
The definition of Shock
Inadequate Tissue perfusion
Hypoperfusion
this shock occurs when there is widespread vasodilation due to the failure of the nervous system to properly regulate the constriction of vessels . Often seen in spinal injuries
Neurogenic Shock
passing out
Syncope
awareness and concern for potential serious injury and underlying conditions based on the type of accident that occurred
index of suspicion
There are this many impacts that occur with a bast injury
3
this is one of the primary waste products of normal cellular Metabolism that is removed by the lungs
Carbon Dioxide
Pulmonary edema and impaired ventilation occur with this type of Shock
Cardiogenic
Bluish Skin due to lack of oxygen
Cyanosis
the way that the traumatic injury occurred. describes the energy transfer and how it occurred to the body
Mechanism of injury
this type of MVC, also known as T-Bone- has the highest instance of death.
Lateral collision
When the body senses hypoperfusion, this releases epinephrine in the body causing Tachycardia
Sympathetic Nervous System
This shock occurs when Bacteria causes damage to the vessel walls resulting in widespread vasodilation, and leaking of the blood vessels
Septic Shock
sudden temporary reduction of blood supply to the brain that causes fainting. Self resolving within a few minutes.
Psychogenic Shock
this represents the relationship between mass and velocity in a moving object
Kinetic Energy
an injury that occurs when the brain hits the front and then the back of the skull due to the rapid deceleration
Coup/Contra-Coup injury
these are circular muscle walls that regulate blood flow through the capillaries
Capillary Sphincters
these are 5 signs and symptoms of Compensated shock.
AMS, pale, diaphoretic, Tachycardia, Anxiety, Sense of impending doom, thirst,
amount of time from when an accident occurs to when the patient receives definitive care should fall in a a 60 minute time period called this
Golden Hour
this occurs when an object breaks the skin and enters into the body.
Penetrating trauma
this is highly susceptible to injury from blast due to high pressure waves.
Tympanic Membrane
This is one of the last signs of decompensated shock and means that the body is moving to irreversible shock
Hypotension/ Low BP
A cardiac tamponade or tension pneumothorax result in this type of shock
Obstructive Shock
Loss of fluid from bleeding, plasma or dehydration causes this.
Hypovolemia
pressure waves from a projectile that causes energy to move to surrounding tissues around the path of the projectile
Cavitation
During an explosion, injuries involving the body impacting another object occurs during this phase.
Tertiary Phase
