Shock

will affect any age or gender. It is cunning, quick to manifest itself, and life-threatening, it is septic shock. Sepsis is a crafty syndrome that most people may not even realize they have until a family member realizes they are acting different and takes them to the emergency department. First it starts with an infection, then early sepsis, which if not treated it turns into septic shock. Sepsis is defined by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign as a “life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a…

Milgram (1974) used this perspective to explain the behaviour expelled by the participants when continuing to administer increasingly severe shocks, even after the ‘learners’ protesting and once the experimenter had exclaimed that they would take responsibility, allowing the ‘teacher’ to take an agentic shift from autonomy (Reicher & Haslam, 2012). Nissani (1990), suggests that the human cognitive…

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…

significant cost to the economy. Therefore, it is imperative to raise awareness and prepare clinicians with the knowledge and guidance to embark on the global movement towards improving quality of care and outcomes for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Defining Sepsis: In 1991, The Society of Critical Care Medicine and The American College of Chest Physicians held a meeting with the aim of establishing distinct…

Subsequently,…

The method he used was to administer electric shocks to that person. The recruitment of volunteers was done through an advert on the newspaper. This advert talked about a "study of memory and learning" that was going to take place at Yale, concealing, of course, the real nature of the experiment. In…

sepsis” and “sepsis shock”. (Tupchong) When sepsis becomes more serious, it refers when the body has an organ dysfunction thus the term “severe sepsis” being created. From 1993 to 2003, severe sepsis had doubled in patients with the disease. (Christaki) Septic shock refers when the body has a very low blood pressure and it is found most common in young children or older adults. Septic shock has been found to be the most common cause of death in intensive care unit (ICU). (Septic Shock)…

In “The Perils of Obedience” by Stanley Milgram, he communicates his discoveries of a research experiment in which he performed attempting to provide evidence of the distances individuals determine to go through as a result of becoming obedient to authoritative figures. The experiment consists of three subjects to be tested; the experimenter, the teacher, and the learner. The experimenter gives an explanation of the research experiment being conducted and “the study is concerned with the effects…

opportunities to better them, various techniques that used a form of shock and awe were implemented on the locals that the Europeans targeted. Popular examples are forced labor of native Americans by the Spanish up-to and including the genocide committed by King Leopold II solely for his personal gains in the Congo; all these unfortunate events in history share one thing in common, personal greed that arose from capitalistic intentions. The Shock Doctrine, also known as ‘Disaster Capitalism’ as…

These limbs are made with springs, shock absorbers, some having a graphite foot or dynamic foot, and a force sensor. Most runners in the Paralympics have the hook limbs, that curve up like a hook for the nice rotation when running. According to the dispute over prosthetics, the report on the limbs was that they use 25% less energy than natural legs. This means that the springs and shock absorbers take the pressure away from the upper legs. Another report that…
