Hypovolemic shock Definition and example
Reduction of the circulating volume
•Blood Loss
: trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding
•Plasma Loss
: burns
•Fluid Loss
: Diarrhea & sunstroke
Cardiogenic Shock Definition and example
Impaired Cardiac function
•Myocardiac infarction
•Heart failure
•Weak contractions in ventricular fibrilations
3.Distributive shock Definition and example
Systemic dilatation of blood vessel (vasodilatation)
•Sepsis
: circulating bacterial toxins
•Anaphylaxis
: caused by allergy →
Histamine release
•Neurogenic
: spinal cord injury
Compensated Manifestation of Shock
•Increased heart rate (Tachycardia)
•Maintain normal Blood pressure
•Irritability
•Thirsty
•Decrease urinary output
uncompensated Manifestation of Shock
•Tachypnea (rapid respiration)
•Cool pale extremities
•Decrease Blood presuure
