Shocking truth
In this type of shock, the heart fails to pump effectively, leading to poor perfusion and a drop in blood pressure.
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
Paramedics may administer IV fluids and initiate these "type" of medications if blood pressure remains low
"Vasopressors"
On average, the body initially compensates in shock by increasing this.
Heart Rate
This class of drugs is used to relieve pain and includes medications like morphine and fentanyl.
Opiates / Opiods / analgesics
The toxidrome of that causes respiratory depression, pinpoint pupils, and sedation when taken in excess.
Opiate overdose
This type of shock is caused by inadequate blood volume, often due to severe bleeding or dehydration.
Hypoveolemic Shock
The procedure that is needed to treat obstructive shock resulting from tension pneumothorax.
Needle decompression
A condition that occurs when there is an inappropriate redistribution of body fluids or an expansion of the vascular space resulting in a form hypovolemia.
Relative hypovolemia
An overdose of this over-the-counter pain reliever can lead to liver failure and is treated with acetylcysteine.
Acetaminophen overdose
Method of gastrointestinal decontamination that can immediately recover a portion of gastric contents.
Gastric Lavage
This term describes shock that occurs due to widespread vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, often seen in severe infections.
Sepstic Shock
This medication would be the preferred choice of sympathomimetic infusion for patients going into anaphylaxis shock,
Epinephrine
This phrase refers to the "text-book" definition of shock.
Inadequate tissue perfusion
This common prehospital drug is used to competetively bind to the Mu receptors in the CNS.
Narcan / Naloxone
The mneumonic device used to the assess organophosphate poisonings.
SLUDGE-M / DUMBBELLS
In neurogenic shock, this division of the autonomic nervous system is disrupted, causing a drop in blood pressure and loss of vasomotor tone.
SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
The type required to infused TXA on a patient with suspected hemmorhagic shock.
10 minutes
MODS is typically a sign assosciated with this stage of shock.
Stage IV
Used to treat hypoglycemia, this medication increases blood sugar levels by releasing stored glucose from the liver.
Glucagon
In the case of calcium channel blocker overdose, this electrolyte is administered to counteract the drug’s effects on the heart.
Calcium chloride or calcium gluconate
The characteristic sign of neurogenic shock that differs from other types of shock.
Bradycardia
This medical device was used in the past to control internal hemmorhage that resulted in hypovolemic shock.
PASG
This acid-base imbalance often results from prolonged shock and anaerobic metabolism
Lactic Acidisos
Overdose of this substance, often used as an antidepressant, can lead to a widened QRS complex on the ECG and may require sodium bicarbonate treatment.
TCA Overdose
This anti-nausea medication should not be given to patients with prolonged QT intervals due to the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.
