Signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade: 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: -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 Cardiogenic shock
58YOF sitting up and reporting severe chest

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%.
