Chapter 29 Bleeding And Shock Terminology Flashcards
The suupply of oxygen to and removal of waste from the body’s cells and tissues as a result of the flow of blood through the capillaries
Perfusion
The body’s inability to adequately circulate blood to the body’s cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients
Hypoperfusion also known as shock
Shock resulting from blood or fluid loss
Hypovolemic shock
Shock resulting from blood loss
Hemorrhagic shock
Shock or lack of perfusion brought on not by blood loss but the hearts inadequate pumping action often the result of an MI of CHF
Cardiogenic shock
Hypoperfusion due to lack of blood vessel tone. Blood vessel dilation leads to decreased pressure within the circulatory system
Distributive shock
Bleeding which is characterized by bright red blood and is rapid, profuse, and difficult to control
Arterial bleeding
Bleeding, which is characterized by a slow oozing flow of blood
Capillary bleeding
When the patient is developing shock, but the body is still able to maintain perfusion
Compensated shock
When the body can no longer compensate for a shock state which result in hypotension and death late signs such as decreasing blood pressure become evident
Decompensated shock
Bleeding, especially severe bleeding
Hemorrhage
Substances supplied as powders dressings, gauze, or bandages to open wounds to stop bleeding
Hemostatic agents
Hypoperfusion caused by spinal cord injury that results and systemic vasodilation
Neurogenic shock
A bulky dressing held in position with a tightly wrapped bandage, which applies pressure to help control bleeding
Pressure dressing
The medical term for bodies and inability to adequately circulate blood to the body’s cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients
Shock
