Compensated: early stage, increased heart rate,
Compensated shock vs increase force of contraction, peripheral
Decompensated shock vs vasoconstriction, increase RR to keep blood
Irreversible shock pressure steady Decompensated: late stage, blood
pressure starts to fall
Irreversible: final stage, patient will not survive
- pump problem, heart cannot pump effectively
causing a buildup of fluid, pulmonary edema,
Cardiogenic shock
and hypotension
- signs & symptoms: hypotension, cardiac history, chest
pain, respiratory distress, pulmonary edema,
altered LOC
- pump problem caused by mechanical obstruction of the heart
muscle
- cardiac tamponade: fluid accumulates in pericardial
sac and compresses the heart (pericardial
Obstructive shock (cardiac
tamponade)
tamponade & tension
---S&S: JVD, narrowing pulse pressure, hypotension
pneumothorax)
- tension pneumothorax: air in chest cavity that
accumulates pressure and compresses lungs
and great vessels
---S&S: JVD, respiratory distress, bad lung sounds, poor
compliance to ventilations, tracheal deviation (late
sign)
- pipe (blood vessel) problem due to widespread
Distributive shock vasodilation that causes blood pooling and relative
hypovolemia
- includes anaphylactic shock, neurogenic shock, septic shock,
psychogenic shock
- massive vasodilation, widespread vessel permeability,
Anaphylactic shock bronchocontriction
(distributive shock) - S&S: hives, itching, weak pulses, hypotension, sever
dyspnea, wheezing, respiratory failure
- spinal cord damage leads to massive, systemic vasodilation
Neurogenic shock (distributive below injury level
shock) - S&S: C-spine injury, hypotension, warm and normal

skin color, normal heart rate, paralysis, priapism
(erection)
- severe infection that damages blood vessels and
increases plasma loss - can lead to hypovolemia from
Septic shock (distributive
shock) increased blood vessel permeability
- S&S: fever, chills, weakness, recent illness,
infection or surgery, altered LOC, increase RR,
tachycardia, pale cool skin, weak of peripheral
pulse
Psychogenic shock - sudden vasodilation that leads to syncope (fainting), interupts
(distributive shock) blood flow to brain
- fluid problem, loss of whole blood (hemorrhagic shock always
Hypovolemic shock hypovolemic shock)
- S&S: trauma, bleeding, altered LOC, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, tachycardia, pale cool skin, weak peripheral
pulse, hypotension
Shock, or hypo perfusion, C. inadequate tissue perfusion
describes a state of...
A. hypotension
B. hypoxia
C. inadequate tissue perfusion
D. irreversible system collapse
Your trauma patient has A. compensated shock
lost an unknown amount
of blood. The patient is
alert, his pulse rate is
slightly elevated, and his BP
is normal. Based on this
information, the patient is
likely experiencing...
A. compensated shock
B. anaphylactic shock
C. decompensated shock
D. neurogenic shock
