SHOCK: a sydrome where decreased tissue perferusion and impairment of…

- - - - Risk factors: physical injury resulting in obstruction.
- - - - Septic shock
        happens when sepsis is present and hypotension despite sufficient fluid administration, along with poor tissue perfusion causing hypoxic tissues. Causes include both Gram-negative/ positive bacteria, infections such as pneumonia, the presence of parasites, fungi and parasites. Spetic shock the body's inflammatory response is hypersensitised and exagerated. Septic shock causes maldistribution in the blood flow, vasodilation, and myocardial depression. The incease in capillary permeability causes a leakage of plasma thus causing hypovolemia.
        
        Signs and Symptoms: tachycardia, tachypnea, narrowed pulse pressure, hypotension after fluids, decreased capillary refill time, confusion, pale on appearance, motled skin, hperventilation, oliguira & fever
        
        Treatment: oxygen therapy, intubation, raipd fluid rescitation, blood tests, vital signs, stress ulcer prophylaxis, blood glucose maintainience.
        Pharmacological treatment: antibiotics to fight infection, inotropes, anticoagulants.
      - Signs and Symptoms
        Dizziness, chest pain, swelling of lips and toungue, wheezing & stridor. Skin changes: flushing, pruritus, irticaria and angeo odema. Anxiety, confusion, a sense of impending doom
        
        Treatment:
        remove the cause, maintain pt airways and intubate if needed, collid fluid resusitation, avoid triggers, conduct a full patient history.
        
        Pharmacological treatment:
        adrenaline, anithistamine, corticosteroids, broncodialators.
- - - - Signs and Symptoms:
        Neurological:
        Unresponsive, loss of reflexes, nonreactive pupils.
        Cardiac:
        Profound hypotension, decrease in cardiac output, bradycardia, decreaded blood pressure causing inadequate perfusion to vital organs.
        Respiratory System:
        Hypoxemia, respiratory failure/arrest.
        Gastrointestinal:
        Ischemic Gut
        Renal:
        Anuria
        Hepatic:
        accumulation of waste
        Temperature:
        Hypothermia
        Skin:
        Mottles and Cyanotic
