1. Subcutaneous em-
A physical finding of air within the
physema
subcutaneous tis- sue, described as a
crackling or popping feeling under the skin
2. Disseminating In-
A pathological process characterized by the
travascular
wide- spread activation of the clotting
Coagula- tion
cascade that results in the formation of blood
clots in the small vessels throughout the body.
Interferes with the body's ability to use fibrin
for clotting when its actually needed thus
3. Disseminating in- increasing the chances of severe hemorrhage

4. Also referred to as a
traumatic dissection Transected aorta
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 Severe hypotension
symptoms of a Severe tearing chest pain that may radiate to
transected aorta the back Difference in pulses in the left/ right

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 delivered adequately
due to an obstruction
11.Common causes of Cardiac tamponade, tension
obstructive shock pneumothorax, pul- monary embolism
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
distributive shock trauma, toxic exposure
14. Hypovolemic shock Any significant reduction in the volume of the
cardio-
vascular system
15.Common causes of Hemorrhage, severe burns, fluid/ electrolyte
hypovolemic loss (vomiting, diarrhea, sweating,
shock 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)
