What is Cardiogenic Shock.
An adult trauma patient presents with a heart rate of 135 bpm, blood pressure of 82/54 mmHg, rapid shallow breathing, and unresponsiveness. Which stage of shock is this patient demonstrating?
What is Decompensated Shock.
A 65-year-old male with a history of heart disease experiences sudden, crushing substernal chest pain. He is cyanotic around the lips, has jugular venous distention (JVD), bilateral crackles in his lungs, and a weak pulse of 50 bpm
What is Cardiogenic Shock
The division of the autonomic nervous system responsible for increasing heart rate and constricting blood vessels during stress.
What is the sympathetic nervous system?

A trauma Patient presents with hypotension, JVD, and diminished breath sounds on one side of the chest following and injury. What type of shock is this.
What is Obstructive Shock.
While performing an assessment a patient becomes acutely pale, diaphoretic, and extremely anxious. EMS Arrives and Vitals reveal a blood pressure of 118/76 mmHg, heart rate of 128 bpm, and respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min.
What is Compensated Shock.
A 28-year-old female fell 15 feet from a ladder and landed on her back. She is paralyzed from the umbilicus down. Her skin is warm, dry, and flushed below the injury site, and despite a low blood pressure of 80/44 mmHg, her heart rate is abnormally slow at 58 bpm
What is Neurogenic Shock?
The perfusion triangle is used to explain the causes of shock. It illustrates that adequate tissue perfusion depends on three interrelated components. What are these components.
What is The Heart (pump), Blood (Volume), Vessels, (Container).
