Hemorrhage Flashcards
What is shock?
Oxygen delivery to body is compromised
What happens with shock?
Body will compensate as long as possible
What is seen in as a compensatory reaction to shock?
tachycardia + tachypnea + peripheral vasoconstriction
Reason in Shock: Tachycardia
Increase oxygen delivery
Reason in Shock: Tachypnea
Increase oxygenation
Reason in Shock: Peripheral vasoconstriction
Maintain perfusion to vital organs
What is a major consequence of perfusion and hypoxia?
Mental depression
What are the four types of shock?
Hypovolemia
Cardiogenic
Distributive
Hypoxic
What is hypovolemic shock?
Inadequate circulating volume
What can cause hypovolemic shock?
Hemorrhage
– and –
Loss of fluids
What occurs pathophysiologically with hypovolemic shock?
Reduced venous return = decreased preload
= less CO
= less oxygen to tissues
What are the classes of hemorrhagic shock?
I to IV
In what class of hemorrhagic shock do you see change in BP?
III
Blood loss amount: Class I
up to 15%
Blood loss amount: Class II
15 to 30%
Blood loss amount: Class III
30 to 40 %
Blood loss amount: Class IV
> 40%
What is cardiogenic shock?
Primary problem in the heart
What are the two types of cardiogenic shock?
Diastolic
– and –
Systolic
