Shock is a result of?
Hypoperfusion to the cells
Circular muscular walls that regulate blood flow through capillaries ?
Capillary sphincters
1 primary waste products of normal cellular metabolism removed from the body by the lungs is?
CO2
When the body senses hypoperfusion, the sympathetic nervous system releases epinephrine the effect is?
Tachycardia
When perfusion to the core of the body decreases…
Blood is shunted away from the skin
Pulmonary edema & impaired ventilation occur during?
Cardiogenic shock
Obstructive shock can occur by
Cardiac tamponade
Distributive shock occurs when..?
Widespread dilation of the blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds
Patients develope septic shock secondary to
Poor vessel function & severe volume loss
Failure of the nervous system that causes widespread vasodilation
Neurogenic shock
