insufficient supply of oxygen and other nutrients to body cells resulting from inadequate circulation of blood
|
shock or hypoperfusion
|
|
shock caused by the loss of blood or fluid from the intravascular space resulting in a low blood volume
|
hypovolemic shock
|
|
shock associated with a decrease in intravascular volume caused by massive systemic vasodilation and an increase in the capillary permeability
|
distributive shock
|
|
poor perfusion resulting from in ineffective pump function of the heart
|
cardiogenic shock
|
|
a poor perfusion state resulting from a condition that obstructs forward blood flow
|
obstruction shock
|
|
shock from the loss of whole blood from the intravascular space
|
hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock or hymorrhagic shock
|
|
shock caused by loss of fluid from the intravascular space with red blood cells and hemoglobin remaining within the vessels
|
nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock
|
|
a form of nonhemorrhagic hypovolemic shock resulting from a burn injury
|
burn shock
|
|
disbributive shock in which chemical mediators cause massive systemic vasodilation and permeable, leaking capillaries
|
anaphylactic shock
|
|
a type of distributive shock caused by an infection that releases bacteria or toxins into the blood
|
septic shock
|
|
a type of distributive shock that results from massive vasodilation
|
neurogenic shock or vasogenic shock
|
|
bringing a patient back from a potential or apparent death
|
resuscitation
|
|
the cessation of cardiac function with the patient dispalying no pulse, no breathing and unresponsiveness
|
cardiac arrest
|
|
death of a patient within one hour of the onset of signs and symptoms
|
sudden death
|
|
the time from cardiac arrest until effective CPR
|
downtime
|
|
electrical shock delivered to help the heart restore a normal rhythm
|
defibrillation
|
|
a continuous, uncoordinated, chaotic rhythm that does not produce pulses
|
ventricular fibrillation (VF or V-Fib)
|
|
a rapid heart rhythm that may or may not produce a pulse; usually too fast to adequately perfuse body organs
|
ventricular tachycardia (VT or V-Tach)
|
|
a heart rhythm indicating absense of any electrical activity in the heart
|
asystole
|
|
The 4 links in the American Heart Association's "Chain of Survival"
|
1 - Early access
2 - Early CPR 3 - Early defibrillation 4 - Earl advanced life support |
|
How quickly do brain cells begin to die following cardiac arrest?
|
within 4 - 6 minutes
|
|
If the heart has an electrical rhythm, but the circulatory system has lost so much blood there is nothing to pump, teh patient is said to be in ___________
|
Pulseless electrical activity
|
|
Cardiac arrest in children is most often due to ____________
|
hypoxia form airway compromise
|

You arrive on the scene to find an adult patient in cardiac arrest. You should immediately ....
|
Perform CPR for 2 minutes before attaching the AED
|
|
You arrive at your patient's side, the patient goes into cardiac arrest. You should .....
|
attach the AED and deliver a single shock as indicated
|
|
If a razor is not available, how should the EMT place teh AED electrodes on a patient with an extremely hairy chest?
|
Stick one set of pads to teh patient's chest and quickly pull them off to remove the hair. Then place the second set of pads.
