-the type of shock caused by inadequate function of the heart. This
develops when the heart cannot maintain sufficient output to
cardiogenic shock
meet the demands of the body
-caused by any disease or event which prevents heart pumping
-can occur directly after AMI up to 24 hours
The type of shock that results when conditions that cause
Obstructive shock mechanical obstruction of the cardiac muscle also impact pump
function
ex. cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax
Beck's triad Signs of a cardiac tamponade. JVD, narrowing BP pressures, muffled heart
sounds
The type of shock when there is widespread dilation of the
Distributive shock
small arterioles, venules, or both. Blood pools in the expanded
vascular beds and tissue perfusion decreases
Septic shock caused by severe infections; neurogenic shock caused
Types of distributive shock by damage to the spinal cord (bradycardia, low BP, warm skin);
anaphylactic shock caused by allergic reaction; psychogenic
shock
The type of shock that results from an inadequate amount of
Hypovolemic shock fluid or volume in the system
-15% of blood volume
Keep the patient warm, control bleeding, put the patient in a

position of comfort, and administer high-flow oxygen
-without enough oxygen, cardiac arrest or brain damage occurs
within about 4 minutes
brain damage without oxygen
-permanent brain damage within 6 minutes
-death likely within 10 minutes
, -signs of blockage include inability to cough or speak or inability to
ventilate patient
-bending patient forward at the waist, support chest with one
hand, use heel of hand to give 5 back blows between shoulder
FBAO
blades
-then 5 abdominal thrusts
-alternate between the two until object is dislodged
-if patient loses consciousness, give CPR starting with chest compressions
-given even if patient has a pulse, so don't check
-before giving breaths, look inside mouth for any visible objects
-using thigh for support, lay facing down along forearm; ensure
head is lower than the body
-give 5 firm back blows between blades
FBAO in children -5 chest thrusts; place 2 to 3 fingers in the middle of the chest
just below the nipples. push down 1.5 inches.
-alternate, unless lose consciousness, then CPR
-mouth to mouth performed when patient does not have adequate
breathing and artificial ventilation not available
-open airway
-place barrier device
mouse to mouth/mouth to nose
-pinch nose and form seal around patient's mouth
-check for FBAO if you do not see chest rise and fall
-give 1 breath every 5 to 6 seconds for adults and 1 every 3 for peds
Determine unresponsiveness. Check for breathing for up to 10
seconds. Check carotid pulse for up to 10 seconds. Begin CPR
until AED is available. Give 30 compressions at 100 beats/min
and then 2 breaths over the course of 1 second. Once an advanced
Steps of CPR airway is inserted, ventilate at a rate of 8-10 breaths/min and
do not stop compressions.
This is exactly the same for children, except two-rescuer CPR is
15:2. If patient experiences a return of spontaneous
circulation, ventilate at a rate of 10-12 breaths/min.
under 8 years old:
-2 provider: 15:2
-1 provider: 30:2
-one third of chest diameter
compression to breath ratios
older:
-30:2 always
