A

Body not gettting oxygen (low perfusion)

46
Q

Types of Shock

A

Hypovolemic (blood loss), Distributive (anaphalactic, sepsis, Rxn, Neurogenic), Cardiogenic (HR fast or slow OR ACS), Obstructive (tension pneumothorax, cardiac temponade, pulmonary embolism)

47

49
Q

Types of Cardiogenic Shock

A

too Fast, too Slow or ACS (acute coronary syndrome)

50
Q

Types of Obstructive Shock

A

Tension Pneumothorax (air between lung and ribs aka collapsed lung), Cardiac Temponade (fluid in pericardium restricting and squeezing the heart), Pulmonary Embolism (clot in the artery of the lungs stopping blood flow to lungs (so from lungs also))

51
Q

FLD, TANK, PUMP, OBST

A

Hypovolemic (blood loss), Distributive (anaphalactic, sepsis, Rxn, Neurogenic), Cardiogenic (HR fast or slow OR ACS), Obstructive (tens pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism, cardiac temponade)

52
Q

55
Q

Stach

A

56
Q

Afib

Atrial Fibrilation - abnormal heart rate

57
Q

RvR

A

rapid ventricular rate

58
Q

Vfib

A

needs a reset- heart rate crazy- patternless (SHOCK ADVISED)

59
Q

Vtach

A

super fast, needs a reset (SHOCK ADVISED)

60
Q

When to stop treatment

A

be sure there are no signs of hypothermia1. Standard ALS has been delivered2. Asystole or PEA for OVER 20 minutes of CPR etc AND no reversible cause is evident AND patient is NOT PREGNANT AND med control gives order

61
Q

When can you use “DO NOT RESUSCITATE”

A

If in doubt, save the patient. A DNR needs1. Competence 2. Capacity 3. Informed refusal

62
Q

Diff between PEA and ASYSTOLE

A

Asystole is the flatline reading where all electrical activity within the heart ceases. PEA, on the other hand, may include randomized, fibrillation-like activity, but it does not rise to the level of actual fibrillation.
