Shock Flashcards
Signs and symptoms of compensated shock
Mild tachycardia
Confusion, combative
Delayed cap refill
Normal or slightly elevated BP
Shock
Inadequate perfusion to the tissues
Signs and symptoms of progressive shock
Moderate tachycardia
Confusion, unconsciousness
Delayed cap refill, cold, cyanosis
Decreased BP
signs and symptoms of irreversible shock
Bradycardia, severe dysrrhymias, coma
Pale, cool, clammy
Frank hypotension**
Inc RR
Adequate perfusion of cells depends on 3 components
Pump-heart
Tank-vessels
Fuel-blood
How many liters of blood in body
5-6L
% mortality increase for every temp degree loss
10% mortality increase
Afterload
Total resistance against which the blood must be pumped
SVR
3 things affect blood amount
Preload
Cardiac contractile force
Afterload
Frank-sterling mech
Elastic, stretch a little, a lot of pressure
Stretch a lot, more pressure
Dromatrope
Domino effect, 1 cell, 2 cell, ripples (conductivity)
Automaticity
Auto, no coordinated activity
Para-nerves
Vagal-10
Ocular-3
Systolic pressure
Max pressure executed by heart
Diastolic pressure
Pressure in vessels without heart contracting
Has to overcome
