Hypovolemic
This type of shock occurs due to a severe loss of this essential fluid.
What is blood?
Cardiogenic shock occurs when this organ fails to pump blood effectively.
What is the heart?
This category of shock includes septic, anaphylactic, and neurogenic shock.
What is distributive shock?
Obstructive shock occurs when blood flow is blocked due to an external factor, such as clot in this vessel.
What is the pulmonary artery (pulmonary embolism)?
Shock is defined as inadequate delivery of this to tissues.
What is oxygen?
The most common cause of hypovolemic shock is this type of trauma-related injury.
What is hemorrhage shock?
The most common cause of cardiogenic shock is this cardiac event.
What is a myocardial infarction?
Septic shock is often caused by this type of infection.
What is a bacterial infection?
A tension pneumothorax can cause obstructive shock by compressing this organ.
What is the heart?
All types of shock eventually lead to dysfunction of these vital organs.
What are the brain, heart, and kidneys?
Hypovolemic shock leads to a decrease in this vital cardiovascular measurement.
What is blood pressure?
Cardiogenic shock leads to pulmonary congestion, causing this respiratory symptom.
What is dyspnea (SOB)?
What is an allergen?
This condition, characterized by fluid accumulation in the pericardium, can lead to obstructive shock?
What is cardiac tamponade?
The compensatory mechanism that increases heart rate in shock is called this.
What is tachycardia?
A patient in hypovolemic shock may show this classic skin symptom due to poor perfusion.
What is cool, clammy skin?
Unlike hypovolemic shock, fluids must be administered cautiously in cardiogenic shock due to the risk of this condition.
What is pulmonary edema?
Neurogenic shock results from damage to this part of the nervous system.
What is the spinal cord?
The main cause of obstructive shock is this.
What is poor vessel function?
This term describes the body's ability to temporarily compensate for early shock.
What is compensated shock?
A late and critical sign of hypovolemic shock indicating impending cardiovascular collapse is this.
What is hypotension?
This heart rhythm abnormality is commonly seen in patients with cardiogenic shock due to the heart's decreased ability to pump effectively.
What is arrhythmia?
A hallmark of distributive shock is excessive vasodilation, leading to this cardiovascular sign.
What is low systemic vascular resistance (or hypotension)?
In obstructive shock, this type of pressure in the veins, especially in the neck, is often elevated due to impaired blood flow.
What is jugular venous pressure?
This stage of shock occurs when the body's compensatory mechanisms fail, leading to hypotension and signs of organ dysfunction such as altered mental status and decreased urine output.
What is decompensated shock?
