Arterial bleeding - ANSWER-Bleeding from an artery, which is characterized by
bright red blood that is rapid, profuse, and difficult to control
capillary bleeding - ANSWER-bleeding from capillaries, which is characterized by a
slow, oozing flow of blood
cardiogenic shock - ANSWER-Shock, or lack of perfusion, brought on not by blood
loss, but by inadequate pumping action of the heart. It is often the result of a
heart attack or congestive heart failure.
compensated shock - ANSWER-when the patient is developing shock but the body
is still able to maintain perfusion
decompenstated shock - ANSWER-when the body can no longer compensate for
low blood volume, or lack of perfusion. Late signs such as decreasing blood
pressure become evident.
distributive shock - ANSWER-hypo perfusion due to a lack of blood vessel tone.
Blood vessel dilation leads to decreased pressure within the circulatory system
