A

active, life-threatening hypersensitivity (allergic) reaction

41
Q

Distributive/Anaphylactic Shock results in what?

  • identify cause
  • control allergic response
  • prevent exposure
  • airway/oxygen/epinephrine
  • monitor ECG
43
Q

Why do we give epinephrine?

A

it counteracts the vasodilation b/c it is a massive vasoconstrictor

  • hormonal
  • biochemical

Q

What does a decreased BP cause during Compensatory stage?

A

blood from peripheral areas is pulled away, but maintained in vital organs

63
Q

What happens during Compensatory Stage?

A
  • -baroreceptors activate CNS in response to decreased BP

A

when compensatory mechanisms fail

68
Q

What happens when GI system becomes ischemic?

71
Q

What happens in the Refractory Stage?

A
  • exacerbation of anaerobic metabolism
  • accumulation of lactic acid
  • profound hypotension and hypoxemia
  • recovery unlikely
72
Q

What is the overall goal for Cardiogenic shock?

A

restore blood flow to myocardium by restoring balance b/t O2 supply and demand

73
Q

Drug therapy for Cardio Shock

A
  • nitrates
  • diuretics
  • vasodilators
