CIRCULATORY SHOCK AND ITS TREATMENT

It means generalised inadequacy of blood flow (vascular collapse) through out body, causing tissue damage due to dec. blood flow, dec. delivery of O2 and other nutrients, decrease cardiac output or decrease vascular tone.

Causes of Shock

•Dec. cardiac output due to:

•Hemorrhage

•Dec. blood vol.

•Dec. vasomotor tone                             

•Obstruction to blood flow

•Myocardial infarction                               

•Toxic states of heart

•Severe heart valve dysfunction

•Cardiac arrhythmias

At the end of the lesson student should able to learn about:

  • Shock caused by hypovolemia hemorrhagic shock.
  • "Progressive shock" is caused by a vicious cycle of cardiovascular deterioration.
  • Physiology of treatment in shock.
  • Other effects of shock on the body.
