Chapter 13: Shock Flashcards
pg. 1402
Shock
hypoperfusion, not enough cellular fluids, (ie. oxygen, water, glucose)
Perfusion
blood circulation, helps meet cell needs for proper functioning, systemic (between heart and body) and pulmonary (between heart and lungs), needs blood & oxygen
Hypoperfusion
not enough cell perfusion, lack of blood flow, <25 pulse pressure
Pulse Pressure
systolic - diastolic pressure
Sphincters
muscular walls around capillaries, dilate and constrict to regulate blood flow
Cardiogenic Shock
heart not functioning/pump failure, extra blood backed up into pulmonary vessels, can cause pulmonary edema
Edema
too much fluid in body tissues, causes swelling
Pulmonary Edema
too much blood in vessels, accumulates in alveoli, can’t exchange oxygen
Myocardial Contractility
heart’s ability to contract
Preload
pressure in heart, increases with volume of blood in ventricles and cardiac output
Afterload
force against heart pump, increases as cardiac output decreases, can cause cardiogenic shock
Obstructive Shock
obstruction blocks blood from flowing to rest of body
Pericardial Effusion
extra fluid between pericardial sac and myocardium
Cardiac Tamponade
pericardial effusion blocks ventricles from filling with blood, cause obstructive shock, low pulse pressure
Tension Pneumothorax
air in chest cavity outside of lung, lung collapses (pneumothorax), can prevent vena cava from fully expanding, less returning blood press, cause obstructive shock
