tissues start to die, affecting the body processes if these conditions aren’t promptly stopped and reversed, death will follow. what conditions are they talking about | conditions of shock |
(pump failure) tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism are types of | cardiogenic shock |
(poor vessel function) septic shock, neurogenic shock anaphylactic shock psychogenic shock, are all types of | distributive shock |
hemorrhagic shock and non-hemorrhagic shock are types of | hypovolemic shock |
compensated shock | early state- when the body is still able to compensate |
decompensated shock | when the body cant compensate and they vital signs change significantly (BP drops, fast HR, labored/irregular bleeding, weak pulse) |
