1. Subcutaneous em- A physical finding of air within the subcutaneous tissue, described as a
physema crackling or popping feeling under the skin
2. Disseminating In- A pathological process characterized by the widespread activation of the
travascular Coagula- clotting cascade that results in the formation of blood clots in the small vessels
tion throughout the body. Interferes with the body's ability to use fibrin for clotting
when its actually needed thus increasing the chances of severe hemorrhage
3. Disseminating in- Sepsis, tumors, and trauma
travascular coagula-
tion is most com-
monly caused by?
4. Also referred to as a Transected aorta
traumatic dissection
or rupture of the aor-
ta
5. Transected aorta Shear forces cause the layers of the aorta to separate allowing blood to enter,
this increases the pressure within the artery causing it to begin to dissect
6. Signs and symptoms Severe hypotension
of a transected aorta Severe tearing chest pain that may radiate to the back
Difference in pulses in the left/ right upper extremities or weak pulses in the
lower extremities
7. Rhabdomyolysis Acute destruction of skeletal muscle
8. Occurs when crush Rhabdomyolysis
syndrome causes
skeletal muscle to
undergo necrosis
and cellular changes

causing it to begin
degeneration
9. Kehr's sign Referred pain to the left shoulder caused by a ruptured spleen
10. Obstructive shock The heart and vessels are working but oxygenated blood is not being deliv-
ered adequately due to an obstruction
11. Common causes of Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, pulmonary embolism
obstructive shock
12. Distributive shock Lack of vascular tone or major vasodilation hinders the ability of blood to
perfuse through the body (the pipes are too big)
13. Common causes of Sepsis, anaphylaxis, neurological/ spinal trauma, toxic exposure
distributive shock
14. Hypovolemic shock Any significant reduction in the volume of the cardiovascular system
15. Common causes of Hemorrhage, severe burns, fluid/ electrolyte loss (vomiting, diarrhea, sweat-
hypovolemic shock ing, excessive urination), and "third spacing" of fluid that can occur in severe
pancreatitis or ascites of the liver
16. Neurogenic shock Due to the loss of sympathetic tone from a spinal cord injury, the "message"
to constrict is no longer being sent to the smooth muscle in the vascular
system
17. Cushing's Triad Bradycardia, widening pulse pressures, and irregular respirations
(Cheyenne-Stokes)
18. Cardiogenic shock Results from cardiac insufficiency when cardiac output falls below what the
body requires (a pump problem)
19. Septic shock
