shock refers to
a state of collapse and failure of the cardiovascular system
blood flow through capillary beds is regulated by
capillary sphincters
the autonomic system regulates involuntary functions such as
sweating
digestion
constriction and dilation of capillary sphincters
regulation of blood flow is determined by
cellular need
perfusion requires having a working cardiovascular system as well as
adequate oxygen excahnge in the lungs
adequate nutrientes in for form of glucose in the blood
adequate waste removal
the action of hormones such as ephnephrine and norepinephrine stimulates ______ to maintain pressure in the system and as a result perfusion of all vital organs
increase in heart rate
increase in the strength of cardiac contractions
vasoconstriction in nonessential areas
basic causes of shock include
poor pump function
blood or fluid loss
blood vessel dilation
noncardiovascular causes of hock include respiratory insufficiency and
anaphylaxis
____ develops when the heart muscle can no longer generate enough pressure to circulate the blood to all the organs
cardiogenic shock
neurogenic shock usually results from damage to the spinal cord at the
cervical level
in septic shock
there is insufficient volumne in the container
fluid leaked to respiratory system
larger than normal vascular bed for smaller volumne
neurogenci shock is caused by
a radical change in the size of the vascular system
hypovolemic shock is a result of
low volume
an insufficient concentration of ___ in the blood can produce shock as rapidly as vascular causes
oxygen
in anaphylactic shock, the combination of poor oxygenation and poor perfusion is a result of
widespread vasodilation
you should suspect shock in a cases of
multiple severe fractures
severe infection
abdominal or chest injury
when treating a suspected shock patient, vital signs should be recorded approximately every ___ mins
five
the golden period refers to the first 60 mins after
the injury occurs
signs of cardiogenic shock include
cyanosis
nausea
anxiety
____ is a sudden reaction of the nervous system that produces temporary vascular dilation and faiting
psychogenic shock
TF life threatening allergic reaction can occur in response to almost any substance a patient may encounter
True
TF bleeding is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock following an injury
false
TF shock occurs when oxygen and nutrients cannot get to the bodys cells
True
TF a person in shock left untreated will most likely survive
false
TF compensated shock is related to the last stages of shock
false
TF an injection of epinephrine is the only really effective treatment for anaphylactic shock
true
TF septic shock is a combination of vessel and content failure
true
TF metabolism is the cardiovascular systems circulation of blood and oxygen to all cells in different tissues and organs of the body
false
TF shock occurs only with massive blood loss from the body
false
TF decompensated shock occurs when the systolic blood pressure falls below 120 mm Hg
false
____ refers to the failure of the cardiovascular system
hypoperfusion or shock
pressure in the arteries during ____ is known as systolic pressure
cardiac contraction
the body responds to shock by directing blood flow away from organs that are more _____ of low flow
tolerant
blood pressure is a rough measure of
perfusion
the cardiovascular system consists of ____,___ and ____
pump, container, liquid
heart, vessels, blood
inadequate circulation that does not meet the bodys need is known as
hypoperfusion
____ are circular muscle walls in capillaries, causing the walls to ___ and ____
sphincters,
contract
dilate
___ pressure occurs during cardiac relaxation, while ____ pressure occurs during cardiac contractions
diastolic, systolic
____ pressure is the pressure in the blood vessels at all times
Blood
the autonomic nervous system controls the ____ actions of the body
involuntary
a balance of all body systems
homeostasis
the force against which the heart pumps
afterload
a swelling of a part of an artery, resulting from weakening of the arterial wall
aneurysm
a condition in which the body temp falls below 95
hypothermia
the precontraction pressure in the heart as the volumne of blood builds up
preload
the presence of abnormally large amounts of fluid between cells in body tissues causing swelling of the affected area
edema
