Answers
EMT treatments for shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-1. O2, 2.
Stop any external bleeding, 3. Splint any fractures, 4.
Supine position, 5. Blanket, 6. Rapid transport
Lower limit of SBP for a child - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-70
mmHg plus two times the age in years is a lower limit of
normal
IV fluid replacement - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-It keeps blood
pressure up as blood is lost.
Geriatric patients response to shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
Meds and age alter s/s and decrease compensation
ability.
Pediatric patients response to shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-
Kids compensate well, then suddenly decompensate.
,Mechanism of injury - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-how a person
was hurt
Index of suspicion - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-expected injuries
based on kinetics and MOI
Perfusion - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-delivery of O2/nutrients to
cells and removal of wastes

plasma
Inadequate Pumping - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-traumatic
injury, heart attack/failure, obstruction
Inadequate Vessel Tone - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Vessel tone
→SVR, BP = CO x SVR
, Hypovolemic Shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Most common
form of shock
Distributive Shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Relative volume
reduction due to: vasodilation or increased capillary
permeability
Cardiogenic Shock - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-Stroke volume,
