Stages of Shock |
1. COMPENSATORY STAGE
-S/S Minimal - P.C.C - Slight increase in pulse - Peds slight decap refill
- Body compensates/ priortizes the decreased circulation of 02
2. DECOMPENSATORY STAGE
- Classic S/S of shock present
- Body no longer able to compensate for low circulation
- Weak tachcardia (>100/min) (fast heart rate but not strong)
-Shallow tachpnea >20/min (slow breathing)
3. IRREVERSIBLE STAGE
-Body Tissue prolonged
- Lack of 02 causes celluar death
- Acute Renal Failure
-Death |

|
Hypovolemic Shock |
Hypo(meaning low) Volemic (volume)
low blood volume
not enough bloood in the cardiovascular system to function and operate properly, low on volume.
Dehydration
Illness
Vomitting
Diaahrea
Patient Position: Trendelneberg position |

What is shock |
Shock is inadequate supply of oxygen to bodys tissues and cells.
Decreased tissue perfusion
Shock means: decreased tissue oxygenation and low blood presure |
|
|
Cardiogenic Shock |
Flow: heart isn't working properly causing lack of flow.
Heart is impaired. |
|
|
Obstructive Shock |
Obstruction in the cardiovasulcar system.
I.E pulmonary embolism |
|
|
Distrubtive Shock
(septic shock) (anaphylaxis shock) (nerogenic shock) |
Fluid ends up collecting inbetween the cells of organs that are requiring the oxygen. |
|
|
Septic Shock |
Septic (rotten)
Infections or toxins in your blood stream/vessels.
White blood cells come to help and widen the blood vessel by doing so.
White blood cells weaken the vessel wall trying to fight infection and that causes fluid build up to the cells of organs that are requiring oxygen |
|
|
Neurogentic Shock |
Nervous system is no longer working properly, usually due to trauma.
Nervous system acts as a supporter to the blood vessels providing them stability to allow blood to be pushed forward.
if the nervous system shuts down the vessels become large and floppy. not allowing blood to flow through as quickly causing decreased oxygen delievery (shock) |
