,3 stages of shock 1. Nonprogressive. Early shock. In an attempt to
maintain perfusion, heart rate increases &
vasoconstriction occurs to maintain perfusion and
increase blood pressure.
2. Progressive. Body is no longer able to
compensate. Hypoxia, anaerobic cellular
metabolism (creation of energy with carbs in the
absence of oxygen), & production of lactic acid.
MULTI-ORGAN FAILURE OCCURS.
3. Irreversible shock. Organs are permanently and
severely damaged. Patient will not survive.
,4 stages of Chronic Traumatic The higher the number, the more widespread the tau
Encephalopathy protein accumulation & worse the disease
Stage I: p-tau neurofibrillary tangles are isolated to
cerebral cortex
Stage 4: p-tau proteins are widespread throughout
brain
Acute Confusional State (Delirium) Sudden cerebral dysfunction; patient may be normal
one minute and delirious the next.
Signs: Confusion, agitation, memory impairments,
distractibility, compulsive behavior, obsessions
Causes are usually correctable: ETOH withdrawal,
drug intoxication, siezures, electrolyte imbalances
(sodium & calcium), hypoglycemia, hypoxia,
hypercapnia, infection, head injury
, Acute Coronary Syndrome Broad term which emcompasses three diagnoses:
Unstable angina, Non ST Elevation Myocardial
Infarction, ST elevation infarction
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Type of respiratory failure which results from massive
lung inflammation and widespread alveolar capillary
damage
Damage significantly impairs gas exchange and the
patient will have significant issues with oxygenation
Causes: Pneumonia, sepsis, massive trauma, burns,
aspiration, DIC, pancreatitis
