Block Shock
I'm Shocked
100
This type of shock is related to sudden, severe blood loss
What is hemorrhagic shock?
100
This type of shock is a result of a brain or spinal cord injury
What is neurogenic shock
100

This happens to the vessels causing and increase of MAP.

What is Vasoconstriction.

100
This type of shock is related to a severe allergic reaction.
What is anaphylactic shock
100

One of the four things that influence MAP.

What is total blood volume, Cardiac Output, Size of the vascular bed, or the tissues ability to extract and use oxygen.

200
Severe second and third degree burns can put a person at risk for this type of shock
What is hypovolemic shock
200
This type of shock occurs when massive infection overwhelms the body.
What is septic shock
200

This is the common circulatory feature of all distributive shocks.

What is Vasodialation

200
All forms of shock are characterized by a drop in this vital sign.
What is blood pressure
200
This form of shock results when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. Often due to MI
What is Cardiogenic Shock
300

This is when the cells become inflamed and cannot carry oxygen to the body's organs

What is septic shock

300

The most common type of distributive shock seen in EMS.

Sepsis

300
A decrease in circulating volume such as in severe dehydration can result in this form of shock.
What is hypovolemic
300
A patient is admitted to the E.R. following a car accident. The surgeon suspects the patient has suffered massive internal injuries. You do not see any active bleeding but notice the blood pressure dropping. Which form of shock is likely.
What is hemmorrhagic Shock
300
Excessive vasodilation is a result of this type of shock.
What is neurogenic shock
400

Results when there is widespread dilation of small arterioles, small venules

What is Distributive shock

400
In an attempt to compensate for shock, blood vessels will do this
What is constrict
400

Neurogenic shock is caused by an injury to this part of the body.

What is the Spinal Cord

400

In anaphylactic shock, this medication is the first-line treatment.

What is Epinephrine

400

The three types of distributive shock.

What are Anaphylactic, Septic and Neurogenic?

500

The most difficult form of shock to treat

What is Neurogenic Shock?

500

As the body attempts to compensate in hypovolemic or hemorrhagic shock, the heart rate and respiratory rate will initially do this.

What is increase?

500

In this stage of shock, there is life threatening fluid loss of 30-40%, Oliguria to Anuria, a sustained decrease of MAP > 20 mm Hg, and SEVERE thirst.

What is Decompensated? 

500

In this type of shock the hematocrit goes up

What is hypovolemic shock

500

In this type of shock, the hematocrit goes down

What is hemorrhagic shock
