BZZT
This is defined as inadequate cellular perfusion.
What is shock?
As the volume of blood coming into the heart rises, so does the pressure which leads to a more forceful stretch. Also known as this.
What is Preload?
In this type of shock, there is widespread dilation of the vessels causing pooling in the expanded vascular beds.
What is distributive shock?
This process leads to less blood making back to the heart itself.
This type of shock is the result of an inadequate amount of fluid in the circulatory system.
What is hypovolemic shock?
The early stage of shock in which the body is able to make up for blood loss.
What is compensated shock?
In early stages of shock, the body will attempt to compensate by maintaining this..
What is homeostasis?
When these receptor sites are triggered the heart rate increases and there is greater force of contraction.
What are Beta 1 receptor sites?
What is Septic Shock?
This type of shock is especially deadly because it also causes small blood clots in the capillaries causing organ failure/death. These clots form due to the body's inflammatory response.
The loss of water or fluid is the body's tissues.
What is dehydration?
Can cause hypovolemic shock, especially in children and elderly.
Stage of shock in which blood pressure is dropping and mental status is declining.
What is decompensating shock?
This is defined as the circulation of blood to the tissues in adequate amounts to meet the cells' needs.
What is perfusion?
What is after load?
This type of distributive shock is usually the result of high spinal cord injury.
What is neurogenic shock?
Due to blood pooling below injury, skin will be warm and dry.
Also the heart rate will be normal to LOW in the presence of hypotension
*** cover with blanket ****
Injuries causing internal or external bleeding can lead to this type of hypovolemic shock.
What is hemorrhagic shock?
When shock progresses too far...
What is irreversible shock?
What is skin?
What is intestines?
This type of shock is caused by inadequate functions of the heart, or pump failure.
What is cardiogenic shock?
This type of distributive shock occurs when a person reacts quickly to a substance to which they have been sensitized.
What is anaphylaxis?
This condition during gastrointestinal issues may result in shock.
What is vomiting and diarrhea?
You should suspect shock when this is less than their heart rate.
What is their systolic blood pressure?
In shock, cells switch from aerobic metabolism to this.
What is anaerobic metabolism (without oxygen)
This allows Lactic ACID to build and reduces the body's ability to create adenosine triphosphate which provides energy to cellular function.
Name one of the three most common examples of obstructive shock.
What is cardiac tamponade?
What is tension pneumothorax?
What is pulmonary embolism?
( an obstruction that blocks blood from returning to the heart, filling the ventricles, or leaving the heart)
A SUDDEN reaction of the nervous system that produces a TEMPORARY vasodilation
What is fainting, otherwise known as SYNCOPE?
Name another way to lose fluid externally through the skin.
What is a thermal burn?
Crush injury can cause leakage into the tissues too
If you suspect shock, you should reassess these three signs/symptoms at least every 5 minutes.
Name one.
What is blood pressure?
What are skin condition?
What is mental status?
