Shock Flashcards
The state of collapse and failure of the cardiovascular system is called
hypoperfusion shock
Shock can be caused by
Bleeding, respiratory failure, acute allergic reactions and overwhelming infection.
Inadequate function of the heart is
Cardiogenic shock
The presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid between cells is (also known as swelling)
Edema
Conditions that result in mechanical obstruction of the cardiac muscle is cause
Obstructive shock
Damage to the lung tissue allowing air to escape is
Tension pneumothorax
Widespread dilation of the small arterioles, small venules, or both is called
Distributive shock
The form of distributive shock that occurs as a result of severe infections resulting in cellular permeability is called
Septic shock
The type of distributive shock where there is damage to the spinal cord
Neurogenic shock
The distributive shock that occurs when a person violently reacts to a substance to which he or she has been sensitized
Anaphylactic shock
The type of distributive shock that has a sudden reaction in the nervous system that causes a temporary generalized vascular dilation, resulting in feinting
Psychogenic shock
The shock that occurs when there is an inadequate amount of fluid (such as blood) in the system
Hypovolemic shock
Early stage of shock is called (still compensating for blood loss)
Compensated shock
The last stage of shock is called (commonly as falling blood pressure)
Decompensated shock
Treatment for psychogenic (fainting) shock
