Shock Flashcards
1
Q
decreased intravascular fluid or decreased volume causing decreased preload, stroke volume, and cardiac output
A
hypovolemic shock
2
Q
relative intravascular volume depletion due to marked systemic vasodilation
A
distributive shock
3
Q
left ventricle fails to deliver oxygenated blood to peripheral tissues due to variances in contractility as well as preload, after load and right ventricular function. MI is common cause.
A
cariogenic shock
4
Q
decrease in venous return or cardiac compliance due to an increased left ventricular outflow obstruction or marked preload decrease. causes include, cardiac tamponade, PE, tension pneumothorax
A
obstructive shock
