SHOCK Flashcards
1
Q
hypovolemic shock
A
reduced intravascular circulating volume from haemorrage/fluid shifts/systemic fluid loss
2
Q
obstructive shock
A
impedence of circulatory flow from blockage, compression, embolic, dissecting/ tamponade
3
Q
distributive shock
A
decreased vascular resistance, increased venous capacity, from vasomotor disfunction
4
Q
septic shock
A
caused by toxins in the blood as result of disease/infection - can = lethal systemic vasodilation
5
Q
anaphylactic shock
A
the exaggerated systemic response to allergen
6
Q
neurogenic shock
A
caused by damage to sympathetic nervous system= reduced PVR secondary to widespread vasodilation
7
Q
cardiogenic shock
A
inability of the heart to maintain a level of CO sufficient to perfuse tissues with oxygenated blood.
