A patient becomes micro shock sensitive if the skin resistance is bypassed such as by an intravenous infusion, or a catheter. Most of the body's resistance is in its dry skin. If the skin gets wet, salts go into ion form, thus, lowering the resistance.Ê

What is the most sensitive indicator of hypoperfusion?
Hemorrhage is a major cause of shock hypoperfusion.
What injuries should you check for after a patient suffered from electric shock?
what injuries should you chech for after a patient sufferd from electric scock
What is particularly sensitive to injury during states of shock or cardiopulmonary arrest?
There are several organs that are particularly sensitive to injury during low perfusion states such as hypovolemic shock or cardiopulmonary arrest. These organs are the ones that also tend to have high perfusion rates, such as the brain and kidneys.
Explain how cellular metabolism is impaired when a patient is in septic shock?
LOL I'm taking Patho with Dr. DK too. Good luck!
What tectonic setting does shock metamorphism occur?
"[E]vidence of shock metamorphic conditions of extreme pressure and heat on Earth exist only within and around impact craters. Only hypervelocity impact between objects of substantial size moving at cosmic velocity (at least several kilometers per second) can produce these conditions." Courtesy of enotes.com
What is microshock sensitive?
micro shock sensitive means a patient is sensitive to small shocks that could be given from medical equipment and carry to the heart
How is shock prevented?
.Shock can be avoided by recognizing that a patient who is unable to drink in order to replace lost fluids needs to be given fluids intravenously. Other types of shock are only preventable insofar as one can prevent their underlying conditions.
What is the prognosis for shock?
The prognosis of an individual patient in shock depends on the stage of shock when treatment was begun, the underlying condition causing shock, and the general medical state of the patient.
Which explosives are very sensitive to heat and shock?
Primary
What effect does thermal shock have on metals?
Metallic products can get micro-deffects.
Why is it important to stand clear and not touch the person before delivery a shock with AED?
This is important because any movement of the patient will make a false reading inside the AED. The machine is actually looking for a particular rhythm while the pads are connected to the chest. What it is seeing is very much alike to what is seen on an EKG. The AED will only shock if there are 2 rhythms present: Ventricular Fibrillation, or the quivering of the heart before it actually stops; and ventricular tachycardia which is defined as over 180 beats per minute.
Why cant you touch the patient when AED Delivers a Shock?
Because you too, will get shocked and it'll take away from the amount of shock the patient might need.
Which shock victim organ is most sensitive to oxygen deprivation?
gut
What class of shock is a patient in with systolic of 80p?
2
What should you do in case of shock?
Lay the patient down, elevate the legs, keep the patient warm.
When did it become possible to give a patient a shock patient transfusion that wouldn't kill him?
In the 21st century
What type of electrical shock is used when an R wave is present in the patient's rhythm?
Precordial shock from the AED
