Shock Flashcards
1
Q
Shock
A
Inadequate cellular perfusion
2
Q
Why is it important that cells have adequate perfusion?
A
Cells require O2, water, glucose to create ATP
3
Q
Hypoporfusion (shock)
A
When cells don’t get O2, glucose, water- shock
4
Q
Why is shock progression bad
A
- Goes from tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> whole body
- blood circulation stops, organ system failure
5
Q
Shock
A
Circulates blood to tissues to meet the cells needs (O2, nutrients, waste removal)
