How to read blood pressure Top number: systolic pressure (heart's ventricles contract)
Bottom number: diastolic pressure (heart's ventricles are relaxed)
carotid pulse the pulse felt along the large carotid artery on either side of the neck. Blood pressure
is at least 60 systolic
femoral pulse Pulse felt on either side of the groin; Femoral artery. blood pressure is at least 70
systolic.
brachial pulse the pulse felt in the upper arm. (often used for infants.)
radial pulse the pulse felt at the wrist. blood pressure is at least 80 systolic.
pedal pulse The pulse rate obtained on the top of the foot. blood pressure is at least 90-100
systolic
types of shock cardiogenic, neurogenic, septic, anaphylactic, hypovelimic, obstructive(mechanical),
insulin (pseudo)
shock lack of perfusion at the cellular level
general signs and symptoms of shock -skin:pale, cool, diaphoretic
-anxiety
-impending doom
-altered LOC
-dilated pupils
-sustained tachycardia
-tachypnea

general treatment in shock -high flow oxygen
-trendelenberg position
-keep warm
-load and go transport
cardiogenic shock -most commingly caused by AMI
-other causes: Myocarditis, myocardial contusion
-"pump problem"
-decreased CO leads to hyperfusion
-heart begins to fail
cardiogenic shock treatment -standard shock treatment applies
-patient may not tolerate supine or trendelenberg position
-transport to cardiac facility critical
neurogenic shock Circulatory failure caused by paralysis of the nerves that control the size of the blood
vessels, leading to widespread dilation; seen in patients with spinal cord injuries.
-caused by-
-spinal cord injury above T6
-spinal anesthesia
-vasomotor center depression
-may take hours to appear
symptoms
-skin warm and dry
-bradycardia
-poikilothermia
septic shock Shock caused by severe infection, usually a bacterial infection.
-distributive type of shock
-due to infection that becomes systemic
-very common in icu setting
-patients often febrile
-antibiotics are needed to treat infection
-more gradual onset starting with SIRS
hypovolemic shock shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
