TO BODY ORGANS AND TISSUES CAUSING LIFETHREATENING CELLULAR DYSFUNCTION
INADEQUATE BLOOD FLOW (PERFUSION
HEMODYNAMIC TERMS: amount of blood pumped into the aorta from the left ventricle
STROKE VOLUME
HEMODYNAMIC TERMS: amount of blood pumped into the aorta by the ventricle in one minute
CARDIAC OUTPUT
A pulse point that control scalp bleeding
TEMPORAL
A pulse point that control head and neck bleeding
CAROTID
A pulse point that control bleeding in
axilla, shoulder, and
upper chest
SUBCLAVIAN
A pulse point that control arm bleeding
BRACHIAL
A pulse point that controls bleeding in heand and wrist
RADIAL
A pulse point that controls upper leg bleeding
FEMORAL
A pulse point in the back of knee, to control lower leg bleeding
POPLITEAL
SNS: It increases heart rate, contractility and peripheral vasoconstriction
CATECHOLAMINES
TYPES OF SHOCK: Most common
–Etiology: HEMORRHAGE, BURNS, SEVERE DEHYDRATION, THIRD SPACE LOST, USE OF DIURETICS
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
LOSS OF LARGE AMOUNT OF BLOOD INTERNALLY OR EXTERNALLY – ARTERIAL, VENOUS OR CAPILLARY
HEMORRHAGE
TYPES OF SHOCK: Pumping ability of the heart is compromised
–Etiology: MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, CARDIAC AREST, LEFT AND RIGHT-SIDED HEART FAILURE
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
TYPES OF SHOCK: Venous return or cardiac pumping action impeded because of obstruction
–Etiology: pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax
OBSTRUCTIVE SHOCK
