Match the names of different types of shock with the descriptions: - Answers
:Neurogenic: Disruption of the autonomic pathways of the spinal cord because of cord
or brain injury; Results in slowed heart rate and low blood pressure.
Hypovolemic: Loss of more than 20% (1/5) of the body's blood volume makes it
impossible for the heart to pump a sufficient amount of blood to the body.
Psychological: A surge of strong emotions and physical reaction to a stressful event;
patient may experience adrenalin rush, jitters, nausea, foggy, light-headed, and a need
to move around or flee.
Cardiogenic: Decreased cardiac output leading to tissue hypoxia; The heart can't pump
enough blood to meet the body's needs.
Septic: System-wide infection causes enough inflammation to affect the heart, brain, or
kidneys; Results in low blood pressure; Most common cause of death in intensive care
units in the US.
Anaphylactic: Immune system releases a flood of chemicals because of exposure to an
allergen; Results in blood pressure drop, airways narrowing, blocked breathing. Patients
may exhibit rapid, weak pulse, skin rash, nausea, and vomiting.
