when blood leaks into the space between the
pericardium and the pericardial sac
,3|Page
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

-constricting blood vessels in the muscles
The parasympathetic nervous system acts on the body
by: - ....ANSWER ....✔✔ (directly opposes the
sympathetic NS)
