|
Classification of Shock
|
|
______ shock occurs when there is a decrease in the intravascular volume.
|
Hypovolemic
|
Classification of Shock
|

|
Shock
|
Classification of Shock

|
Response
|
Shock and Its Significance
|
|
The final common pathway of all forms of shock is inadequate ______ to the cells that results in cellular hypoxia, end organ damage, and ultimately death.
|
Perfusion
|
|
|
Energy metabolism occurs within the cell, where nutrients are chemically broken down and stored in the form of ______.
|
(ATP)Adenosine triphosphate
|
Normal Cellular Function
|
|
Cells use the stored energy of ATP to perform necessary ______, such as active transport, muscle contration, and biochemical synthesis, as well as specialized cellular function, such as the conduction of electrical impulses.
|
Functions
|
Normal Cellular Function
|
|
______ can be synthesized aerobically (in the presence of oxygen) or anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen).
|
(ATP) adenosine triphosphate
|
Normal Cellular Function
|
|
Aerobic metabolism yield far ______ amounts of ATP per mole of glucose than does anaerobic metabolism; therefore, it is a more efficient and effective means of producing energy.
|
Greater
|
Normal Cellular Function
|
|
______ metabolism results in the accumulation of the toxic end product, lactic acid, which must be removed from the cell and transported to the liver for conversion into glucose and glycogen.
|
Anaerobic
|
Normal Cellular Function
|
|
In ______, the cells lack an adequate blood supply and are deprived of oxygen and nutrients; therefore, they must produce energy through anaerobic metabolism.
|
Shock
|
Pathophysiology
|
|
______ metabolism results in low energy yields from nutrients and an acidotic intracellular environment. Because of these changes, normal cell function ceases.
|
Anaerobic
|
Pathophysiology
|
|
During ______ metabolism the cell swells and the cell membrane becomes more permeable, allowing electrolytes and fluids to seep out of and into the cell. The sodium-potassium pump becomes impaired; cell structures, primarily the mitochondria, are damaged; and death of the cell results.
|
Anaerobic
|
Pathophysiology
|
|
Because ______ is the primary substrate required for the production of cellular energy in the form of ATP, in stress states, the net result is hyperglycemia to meet increased metabolic demands.
|
