Neurogenic
Anaphylactic
Septic

Question 6

What occurs during compensated shock?

Answer 6

Sympathetic output

ADH
Reverse stress relaxation (neurogenic shock or loss of vasomotor tone)
Absorption of fluid into blood

Question 7

What occurs during progressive shock?

Answer 7

Cardiac shock
Myocardial depressant factor
Vasomotor center failure causes vascular dilation
Sludged blood
Capillary permeability increases
Endotoxin release
Cell damage in liver and pancreas

Question 8

Question 9

Look at progressive and irreversible shock

Answer 9

Look at progressive and irreversible shock

What does acidosis in shock prevent?

Answer 10

Glycolysis

Question 11

What is the irreversible stage of shock postponed by?

Answer 11

Fructose 1,6 diphosphate

Question 12

Why do you get acidosis?

Answer 12

Because there is a lack of blood supply

Question 13

What happens during hypovolemic shock?

Answer 13

External fluid loss

Question 14

What are the different methods of external fluid loss?

Answer 14

Hemorrhage
GI
