Types of Shock
This type of shock is caused by excessive fluid loss, such as from hemorrhage or dehydration
What is hypovolemic shock
This is an early cardiac symptom common to all types of shock.
What is tachycardia
This is the first medication given in anaphylactic shock.
What is epinephrine?
This is the lab test used to diagnose lactic acidosis in shock.
What is serum lactate?
This is the priority intervention for a patient with sepsis who has a BP of 85/50, HR 130, RR 26, and temp 103F.
What is to administer IV fluids?
This type of shock occurs due to an extreme allergic reaction.
What is anaphylactic shock?
This is a hallmark sign of septic shock in the early stages related to the skin.
What is warm, flushed skin?
This is the immediate intervention for cardiogenic shock.
What is administer oxygen and inotropic agents?
This is the cardiac enzyme most specific for myocardial infarction.
What is troponin?
This is the likely condition for a patient with a history of MI who reports severe chest pain, JVD, and distant heart sounds.
What is cardiac tamponade?
This type of shock is often seen in spinal cord injuries above T6.
What is neurogenic shock?
These are the three classic signs of cardiac tamponade.
What is Beck's Triad (hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds)?
This is the position a patient should be placed in when experiencing hypovolemic shock.
What is modified Trendelenburg (legs elevated)?
This is the diagnostic test used to confirm pulmonary embolism.
What is a CT angiography?
This type of shock is most likely suspected for a trauma patient who has a BP of 60/40, HR 140, and weak pulses.
What is hypovolemic shock?
What is obstructive shock?
This stage of shock shows a patient with cool, clammy skin, confusion, and oliguria.
What is the progressive stage?
This is the primary goal in treating obstructive shock.
What is relieve the obstruction?
This is represented by ABGs showing pH 7.25, PaCO2 40, and HCO3 18.
What is metabolic acidosis?
What is to administer epinephrine?
This type of shock is caused by inadequate cardiac output despite normal or high blood volume.
What is cardiogenic shock?
This respiratory symptom is life-threatening in anaphylactic shock.
What is stridor?
This is the medication used when a patient experiences neurogenic shock with hypotension and bradycardia.
What is atropine?
This is the diagnostic test used to detect cardiac tamponade.
What is an echocardiogram?
What is progressive shock?
