27
Q

31
Q

Relative hypovolemia

A 
pooling of blood or fluids (bowel obstruction).
fluid shifts (burn injuries, ascites).
internal bleeding (fracture of long bones, ruptured spleen, severe pancreatitis, hemothorax).
massive vasodilation (sepsis).
32
Q

Effects of shock on the kidneys

A

A drop in cardiac output causes a decrease in blood flow through the kidneys.
decrease urinary output
renal failure
BP systolic below 90

33
Q

what are the two types of low blood flow shock?

A

cardiogenic shock

hypovolemic shock

34
Q

A

Relative hypovolemia

38
Q

Some clinical manifestations of hypovolemic shock

A 
Anxiety, confusion, agitation 
Tachypnea

39
Q

Compensatory stage of shock

A

cardiac output is further reduced, but due to compensatory vasoconstriction blood pressure tends to remain within a normal range.
blood flow to skin and kidneys decrease.
blood flow to CNS and myocardium tends to be maintained.
decrease occurs in blood reservoirs.
pt. may compensate for 15% total blood volume (750mL).
further loss of 15-30% activates SNS (increase HR, CO, RR).
if lose is >30% blood volume is replaced.
