Chapter 10 - Shock

Question 1

Circulation of blood within an organ

Answer 1

perfusioin

Question 2

State of collapse and failure of cardiovascular system.

Answer 2

shock (hypoperfusioin)

Question 3

A balance of all systems in the body.

Answer 3

homeostasis

Question 4

Responsible for formation of blood clots.

Answer 4

platelets

Question 5

Three basic causes of shock.

Answer 5

Pump failure (heart attack, trauma to heart, obstructive causes)
Low fluid volume (trauma to vessels, fluid loss from GI tract)
Poor vessel function (infection, drug overdose, spinal injury, anaphylaxis)

Question 6

Cardiogenic shock.

Answer 6

Pump failure
inadequate circulation results in pulmonary edema which leads to impaired ventilation which leads to increased breathing rate and abnormal breath sounds

Question 7

Widespread dilation of small arterioles, small venules, or both.

Answer 7

Distributive shock includes:
Septic shock (from toxins generated in severe infection)
Neurogenic shock (spinal injury, esp. upper cervical)
Anaphylactic shock
Psycogenic shock (usually temporary from syncope)
Hypovolemic shock (hemorrhagic or dehydration)

Question 8

Presence of jugular vein distention, muffled heard sounds and systolic and diastolic blood pressure starting to merge.

Answer 8

Beck’s Triad
s/s obstructive shock
mechanical obstruction of heart muscle
Associated with acute cardiac tamponade
