Q

decompensated shock (stage 2)

A

body cant compensate forever, condition worsens and compensatory mechanisms begin to fail

  • BP decreased with increased HR and RR
  • epi is still being released in an attempt to oxygenate vital organs
  • peripheral cells are now hypoxic and anaerobic metabolism is the only option, this produces greater amounts of acid and increases the acidity (decreased PH) in the body.
  • metabolic acidosis increases and vital organs began to get affected
