Bleeding from an artery, which is characterized by
Arterial bleeding bright red blood that is rapid, profuse, and difficult
to control
bleeding from capillaries, which is characterized by
capillary bleeding
a slow, oozing flow of blood
Shock, or lack of perfusion, brought on not by
blood loss, but by inadequate pumping action of
cardiogenic shock
the heart. It is often the result of a heart attack or
congestive heart failure.
when the patient is developing shock but the body
compensated shock
is still able to maintain perfusion
when the body can no longer compensate for low
decompenstated shock blood volume, or lack of perfusion. Late signs such
as decreasing blood pressure become evident.
hypo perfusion due to a lack of blood vessel tone.
distributive shock Blood vessel dilation leads to decreased pressure
within the circulatory system
hemorrhage bleeding
hemorrhagic shock shock resulting from blood loss
substances applied as powders, dressings, gauze, or
hemostatic agents
bandages to open wounds to stop bleeding
, the body's inability to adequately circulate blood to
hypoperfusion the body's cells to supply them with oxygen and
nutrients
hypovolemic shock shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
Neurogenic shock occurs hypoperfusion caused by spinal cord injury that
when results in systemic vasodilation
a term commonly used to describe the different
obstructive shock conditions that block the flow of blood and cause
hypoperfusion
the supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes from
perfusion the body's cells and tissues as a result of the flow of
blood through the capillaries
a bulky dressing held in position with a tightly
pressure dressing wrapped bandage, which applies pressure to help
control bleeding
the body's inability to adequately circulate blood to
the body's cells to supply them with oxygen and

nutrients, which is a life-threatening condition. Also
known as hypoperfusion.
A device used for bleeding control that constricts
tourniquet
all blood flow to and from an extremity.
bleeding from a vein, which is characterized by dark
venous bleeding red or maroon blood and a steady, easy-to-control
flow.
