Cardiogenic shock is caused by: - (ANSWER)Inadequate function of the heart muscle
, Pericardial effusion - (ANSWER)Collection of fluid between the pericardial sac and the

Cardiac tamponade - (ANSWER)Occurs when blood leaks into the space between the
pericardium and the pericardial sac
Signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade: - (ANSWER)Beck triad: the presence of jugular
vein distention, muffled heart sounds, and a narrowing pulse pressure where the systolic and
diastolic blood pressures start to merge.
Signs of cardiogenic shock: - (ANSWER)-Skin may be cool, clammy, and ashen
-High BP
-Rapid, shallow breathing
-Weak, irregular pulse
-Anxiety, nausea
You arrive on scene to find a conscious 58YOF sitting up and reporting severe chest pain and
SOB. She is anxious and "feels like she's going to die." Her skin is pale, cool, and clammy and
her pulse is rapid, weak, and irregular. Her breathing is labored, with a RR of 28 breaths/min.
Her SpO2 is 90%. Lung sounds show crackles in all fields, and BP is 92/60 mmHg. What is your
differential diagnosis of the patient? - (ANSWER)Cardiogenic shock
The heart is divided down the middle into left and right sides by the: - (ANSWER)Septum
Which chamber of the heart receives incoming unoxygenated blood? - (ANSWER)Atrium
