Shock
✔✔ A condition where the body fails to supply enough oxygen to tissues, resulting
in widespread organ dysfunction. It can be triggered by various underlying causes.
Initial Stage of Shock
✔✔ This early phase begins at the cellular level and may not show visible
symptoms. Cells switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, leading to a
buildup of lactic acid.
Compensatory Stage of Shock
✔✔ Early signs become noticeable in this stage. Blood pressure and cardiac output
start to drop. The body responds by redirecting blood away from non-essential
organs, causing cold and clammy skin, reduced urine output, and GI disturbances.
These changes activate the RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system), which
attempts to raise blood pressure and cardiac output.
Progressive Stage of Shock
✔✔ At this point, compensation fails, and intensive care is often required. Blood
flow to cells is severely impaired, capillaries become leaky, and bacteria may
move from the gut into the bloodstream. This leads to worsening heart, lung, liver,
and kidney function due to inflammation and toxic buildup.
Refractory Stage of Shock - ANSWERS✔✔4) profound hypotension, hypoxemia,
tachy worsens, failure of organs, recovery unlikely, liver dies, increases DIC risk
