Shock Crossword

A syndrome characterized by hypoperfusion of body tissues (imbalance between oxygen supply and demand)
Inability of the heart to pump sufficient blood to perfuse cells of the body
any condition that reduces the volume within the vascular compartment by 15-20% (most common form of shock)
Massive dilation of the blood vessels - massive vasodilation (types: neurogenic, anaphylactic, septic)
Disruption of the ANS over vasocontriction (failure of the nervous system to control the diameter of blood vessels) (HINT: type of shock)
Characterized by massive vasodilation and increased capillary permeability (generalized inflammatory response)
Associated with severe infection (most common form of distributive shock)
Causes: pulmonary embolus, valve stenosis, cardiac tamponade. Fall of blood flow cause by physical obstruction (HINT: type of shock)
Stage: CO & tissue perfusion are decreased, decrease in aerobic and increase in anaerobic metabolism. (Cellular changes are taking place but there are no clinical S/S)
Stage: decrease CO activates compensatory mechanisms trying to maintain homeostasis
Stage: Imbalance between circulation and metabolic needs (leads to multiorgan failure)
Stage: IRREVERSIBLE (damage to the brain and myocardium so that even if the BP is back to normal patient will still die)
