Bleeding and Shock

loading
When the body has lost the battle to maintain perfusion to vital organs. Even if adequate vital signs return, the patient may die days later due to organ failure?
IRREVERSIBLE SHOCK
Occurs when the body can no longer compensate for low blood volume or lack of perfusion. Late signs such as decreasing blood pressure become evident?
DECOMPENSATED SHOCK
Hypoperfusion due to nerve paralysis resulting in the dilation of blood vessels that increases that volume of the circulatory system beyond the point where it can be filled?
NEUROGENIC SHOCK
Shock resulting from blood loss?
HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK
Shock resulting from blood or fluid loss?
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
Patients suffering from myocardial infaraction or heart attack, may develop shock from the inadequate pumping of blood by the heart?
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
The major artery supplying the thigh?
FEMORAL ARTERY
The major artery of the upper arm?
BRACHIAL ARTERY
A bulky dressing held in position with a tightly wrapped bandage to apply pressure to help control bleeding?
PRESSURE DRESSING
What is the most common and affective way to control bleeding?
DIRECT PRESSURE
What are the major methods of controlling bleeding?
-DIRECT PRESSURE
-ELEVATION
-PRESSURE POINTS
Why does an altered mental status occur?
THE BRAIN DOES NOT RECEIVE ENOUGH OXYGEN
Bleeding which is characterized by bright red blood and as rapid, profuse, and difficult to control?
ARTERIAL BLEEDING
Bleeding which is characterized by a slow, oozing flow of blood?
CAPILLARY BLEEDING
Bleeding which is characterized by dark red or maroon blood and has a steady flow, easy to control?
VENOUS BLEEDING
What is the bodies natural response to bleeding?
CONSTRICT THE INJURED BLOOD VESSELS AND CLOTTING
About how much blood volume does a 1 year old infant have?
800 CC
How much blood loss is considered serious for an infant?
150 CC
How much blood loss is considered serious for a child?
500 CC
How much blood loss is considered serious for an average adult?
1 LITER (1,000 CC)
What is the color of capillary blood?
BETWEEN BRIGHT RED AND DARK RED
Is usually slow and oozing due to their small size and low pressure?
CAPILLARY BLEEDING
Besides the heart, what else can an embolism cause complications with?
THE BRAIN AND LUNGS
What is the danger of a large venous bleed especially in the neck?
AN AIR BUBBLE (EMBOLISM) CAN BE CARRIED DIRECTLY TO THE HEART INTERFERING WITH THE HEARTS RHYTHM.
Why is venous blood darker in color?
BECAUSE IT ALREADY PASSED IT'S O2 TO THE CELLS AND PICKED UP CO2 AND WASTES.
Is usually dark red or maroon in color?
VENOUS BLEEDING
What is the most difficult bleeding to control?
ARTERIAL BLEEDING
What drops during arterial bleeding?
SYSTOLIC PRESSURE
Is kind of bleeding is usually bright red in color?
ARTERIAL BLEEDING
External bleeding can be classified as?
-ARTERIAL BLEEDING
-VENOUS BLEEDING
-CAPILLARY BLEEDING
Bleeding, especially severe bleeding?
HEMORRHAGE
What is most sensitive to inadequate perfusion?
-THE CELLS AND TISSUES OF THE BRAIN
-SPINAL CORD
-KIDNEYS-
What is the main reason for the cause of hypoperfusion?
SEVERE BLEEDING OR HEMMORRHAGE
