Pathophysiology
When this happens, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, and the compensatory mechanisms begin.
What is when the blood pressure falls?
Name this condition that results from circulating blood volume loss.
What is hypovolemic shock?
What are anaphylactic, septic, and neurogenic shock?
List early detection and prevention of assessment and data collection for shock in patients at risk for shock are the desired goals.
What is immediate and efficient assessment of the ABCDs (airway, breathing, circulation, and disability)?
Name the two neurotransmitters that also act as hormones that are released from the adrenal medulla during shock.
What are epinephrine and norepinephrine?
These two conditions can also cause hypovolemic shock from excessive water loss through sweating.
What are heat exhaustion or heatstroke?
This is the most severe form of distributive shock, occurring when the body experiences an extreme hypersensitivity reaction to an antigen.
What is anaphylatic shock?
Name this that is checked for patency and opened as necessary.
What is an airway?
During this condition, blood flow to the heart, brain, and liver is preserved by shunting blood from the intestines, kidneys, and skin.
What is shock?
Name this condition that occurs when the heart fails as a pump and decreases cardiac output.
What is cardiogenic shock?
This form of distributive shock is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection.
What is septic shock?
Name this that is checked for rate, depth, and symmetry of chest movement.
What is breathing?
What is lactic acid?
This condition is the main cause of cardiogenic shock.
What is an acute myocardial infarction?
This distributive shock is rare and occurs due to the nervous system injury or dysfunction that causes extensive dilation of peripheral blood vessels.
What is neurogenic shock?
Name this that is monitored with blood pressure measurement.
What is circulation?
List the compensatory responses that, when together, produce the classic signs and symptoms of the first stage of shock.
What are tachycardia (rapid heart rate), tachypnea (rapid breathing), oliguria (producing small amounts of urine), restlessness, anxiety, pallor, and cool, clammy skin?
Name this condition caused by the loss of peripheral vascular resistance due to massive vasodilation.
What is distributive shock?
Name this condition that occurs when there is a blockage of blood flow to or from the heart, the rarest form of shock.
What is obstructive shock?
Name this, which is determined by the patient's level of consciousness.
What is disability?
