Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume (blood volume ejected each
contraction)
Choose an answer
medication for emergency
1 Hypovolemic schock 2
anaesthesia
3 cardiac output 4 Dissociative Shock
Don't know?
, Terms in this set (26)
Hypovolemic schock decreased circulating blood volume
(dehydration/trauma)
distributive shock inadequate disruption of blood, so that the blood
flow is insufficient for the oxygenation of the
tissues. (anaphylaxis/sepsis/neurogenic)
cardiogenic shock circulatory failure due to poor heart function
(cardiomyopathy/myocarditis/cardiac surgery)
obstructive shock circulatory failure due to obstruction of blood flow
to/from the heart (tension pneumothorax/cardiac
tamponade)
Dissociative Shock insufficient oxygen carrying capacity of the blood
(anaemia/carbon monoxide poisoning)
Weight Estimation weight (kg) = (age in years +4) x2
cardiac output Cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume (blood
volume ejected each contraction)
blood pressure blood pressure = cardiac output X systemic
vascular resistance
compensation mechanism in shock Tachycardia, vasoconstriction, increased
myocardial contractibility
