massive vasodilation

Question 5

what is the cause of decreased BP and decreased organ perfusion in cariogenic shock?

Answer 5

impaired contractility

Question 6

what is a sign unique to cariogenic shock?

Answer 6

distended jugular veins

Question 7

Answer 7

flat jugular veins

Question 8

what is the cause of decreased BP and decreased organ perfusion in hypovolemic shock?

Answer 8

decreased circulating blood volume

Question 9

what are signs unique to septic shock?

Answer 9

fever and increased white blood cells

Question 10

neurogenic shock results from what type of injury?

Answer 10

spinal cord injury, not head or brain injury

Question 11

what causes vasodilation in neurogenic shock?

Answer 11

loss of sympathetic tone in arterioles

Question 12

which type of shock does tachycardia NOT occur in?

Answer 12

neurogenic shock. Bradycardia occurs instead

Question 13

where must the spinal cord injury occur for neurogenic shock to happen?

Answer 13

at or above T6

Question 14

Variant (Prinzmetal’s) Angina is a result of?

Answer 14

vasospasm

Question 15

stable angina is a result of?

Answer 15

stable plaques

Question 16

unstable angina is a result of?

Answer 16

unstable plaques

Question 17

Pain with variant angina is often?

Answer 17

cyclical and occurs at night

Question 18

What are the risk factors of stable angina?

Answer 18

smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes

Question 19

pain with stable angina is?

Answer 19

triggered by something, predictable and is relieved by rest

Question 20

Unstable angina falls in the category of?

Answer 20

acute coronary syndrome

Question 21

what is the difference between MI and unstable angina?

Answer 21

pain is prolonged (20-30 mins) and ischemia causes irreversible hypoxia.

Question 22

What are two complications of MI?

Answer 22

Cariogenic shock and heart failure

Question 23

what two things are classified in acute coronary syndrome?

Answer 23

unstable angina and MI

Question 24

in unstable angina, ischemia is?

Answer 24

reversible

Question 25

general term to describe several types of cardiac dysfunction that result in inadequate perfusion of tissues

Answer 25

heart failure

Question 26

Left heart failure is also known as

Answer 26

congestive heart failure

Question 27

left heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Answer 27

inability of the left ventricle to effectively push oxygenated blood forward into the systemic circulation

Question 28

Right heart failure

Answer 28

inability of the right ventricle to effectively push deoxygenated blood forward into pulmonary circulation

Question 29

Shock

Answer 29

impaired tissue perfusion regardless of cause

Question 30

What are the subcategories of distributive shock?

Answer 30

• anaphylactic shock
• septic shock
• Neurogenic shock
