the body. This could lead to strokes if the supply the brain is blocked. It could also lead to acute chest syndrome, where the lungs are unable to take in oxygen as a result of sickled cells blocking the blood vessels. In the heart it could cause pulmonary hypertension due to increased level of blood flow. Sickled cells block the flow of blood to the heart by narrowing the diameter of the blood vessels. The body therefore increases the pressure of blood to enable flow to all parts of the body.…

Obstructive Shock Shock is typically described as blood flow that is inadequate to meet the oxygen concentration for normal functioning of the body tissues. Obstructive shock in this case results from mechanical obstruction of the left ventricle stopping the flow of blood out of the heart. With the limited blood flow, the tissues results in anaerobic metabolism since there is limited supply of oxygen. The anaerobic respiration produces a lot of carbon dioxide together with the inherent…
