Q

Massive vasodilation, depression of cardiac and respiratory centers, and impaired thermoregulation.

A

Systemic Nervous System Dysfunction

23
Q

Damages the reticuloendothelial cells, which recirculate bacteria and cellular debris, thereby predisposing the patient to bacteremia and sepsis.

A

Hypoperfusion

24
Q

Causes the liver to be unable to detoxify drugs, toxins, and hormones, conjugate bilirubin, or synthesize clotting factors.

A

Damage to hepatocytes.

25
Q

May occur because of the endogenous corticosteroids, exogenous corticosteroids, or insulin resistance.

A

Hyperglycemia

26
Q

Impair blood flow and result in microvascular thrombosis

A

Hypoxia and release of inflammatory cytokines

27
Q

Cause a reduction in heart rate, impaired myocardial contractility

A

Alterations in the CVS

28
Q

Occurs because of the reduction in cerebral blood flow

A

Cerebral Ischemia

29

Pulmonary blood flow is reduced, ventilation-perfusion imbalances occur.

A

Chemical compensation

30
Q

Attempt to combat shock by increasing oxygen supply.

A

Chemical compensation

A

Distributive shock

34
Q

Obstruction of blood flow.

A

Obstructive shock

35
Q

Caused by loss of whole blood (hemorrhage), plasma (burns), or interstitial fluid (diaphoresis, DM, DI, emesis, diarrhea, or diuresis) in large amount.

A

Hypovolemic shock

36
Q

Decreased output and evidence of tissue hypoxia in the presence of adequate intravascular volume.

A

Cardiogenic shock

37
Q

Caused by obstruction in the heart or great vessels that either impeded venous return or prevents effective cardiac pumping action.

Result from widespread vasodilation and decreased peripheral resistance.

A

Distributive shock

39
Q

Imbalance between parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation of vascular smooth muscle.
