Obstructive shock is caused by _______ factors

What are non-cardiac?

300

Hypotension and decreased urine output <30 can be seen in this stage

What is progressive or non-compensatory?

300

These are the treatments for hypovolemic shock (2)

What are restore blood volume and correct underlying cause?

300

Measurement used to measure pressure in the right atria or vena cava

What is central venous pressure?

300

This is one neurogenic shock treatment

What is Reversal of anesthesia, Vasopressors IV, If hypoglycemic – give D10, RX cause: ie pain or Incr ICP?


300

This is one cause of obstructive shock

What is Pulmonary hypertension, tension pneumothorax, pericarditis, thoracic tumor, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism?

400

This stage of shock is when the damage is so severe the patient cannot survive

What is irreversible or refractory?

400

These are the vital sign changes in hypovolemic shock

What are tachycardia, hypotension, and tachypnea?

400

Treatment of cardiogenic shock is dependent on...

What is the cause?

400

This is one cause and 2 vital signs changes associated with neurogenic shock

What are (General or spinal anesthesia, epidural block, spinal cord injury or TBI, vasovagal syncope, altered function of vasomotor center due to hypoglycemia) and bradycardia & hypotension 

400

A patient is found with a tension pneumothorax and obstructive shock.

This is the treatment for this scenario
