Types of shock

Question 1

cardiogenic shock

Answer 1

the heart fails to pump blood sufficiently causing decreased CO, hypotension, hypoperfusion, hypoxia

Question 2

hypovolemic shock

Answer 2

diminished blood volume. inadequate filling of vascular compartments

Question 3

obstructive shock

Answer 3

results from mechanical obstruction of flow to the central circulation
causes: AAA, cardiac tamponade, pneumothorax, PE

Question 4

Distributive shock

Answer 4

loss of blood vessel tone, enlargement of vascular compartment causes displacement of vascular volume away from heart and central circulation
