What is the pathophysiology of shock?
Cardiogenic, hypovolemic, or septic shock?
Which part of the heart fails to work effectivly during cardiogenic shock?
Ventricles of your heart fail to work effectively in cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock usually fallow the heart attack, also called as myocardial infarction.
What is cardiogenic shock?
Cardiogenic shock means when the heart has been damaged so much that it is unable to supply enough blood to the organs of the body. :) your welcome
What are the Late signs or symptoms for shock?
Depending on the primary etiology for shock, signs/symptoms will vary. Usually, evidence of profound or severe shock, without medical interventions, consist of severe neurological deficits (obtunded, coma), however, this is more likely secondary to the effects of shock (uremia, acidosis, hypoxia). Purely speaking, the late sign/symptom of shock is death. Shock in of itself is already a late sign/symptom (progression) of a primary insult to the body (cardiogenic: myocardial infarction or heart attack, heart failure; distributive: Infection, anaphylaxis, neurogenic; Hypovolemic: hemorrhage). So, the answer is death.
When will air embolism will be symptomatic after air enters the artery?
Yes. If it lodges in the lungs, you will have signs of a pulmonary embolism. Heart=Cardiogenic/Obstructive shock. Brain=Stroke
What type of shock does cardiac tamponade predispose a patient to?
cardiogenic
What are the kinds of shock?
Distributive, cardiogenic, neurogenic, septic, hypovolemic
What type of shock is caused by inadequate function of the heart?
cardiogenic
What are the 4 major types of shock?
The four major types of shock are hypovolemic shock (caused by low blood volume), cardiogenic shock (caused by heart failure), distributive shock (caused by vasodilation), and obstructive shock (caused by an obstruction to blood flow).
What is signs and symptoms of obstructive shock?
hypotension, tacycardia and low Bp
What are the signs and symptoms of septic shock?
Confusion and problems breathing are some symptoms of septic shock. Weakness, patches of discolored skin and chills are some other symptoms to look out for.
What causes nausea during cardiogenic shock?
Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is not adequately circulating blood due to an abnormal rhythm. Nausea is based in the brain so I suppose the lack of oxygen would be the cause.
