What stimulus would most likely cause Post operative shock?
neurogenic shock
What causes Neurogenic shock?
Neurogenic shock is normally caused by injury that occurs to the nervous system. Other conditions can also cause this type of shock including hypertension and reduced blood flow.
How does neurogenic shock affect body temperature?
Neurogenic Shock, which occurs when you injure your spinal cord, causes low temperature, a condition known as hypothermia.
What are the kinds of shock?
Distributive, cardiogenic, neurogenic, septic, hypovolemic
What is ITLS EXAMS?
The ITLS exams refers to the exams taken to examine the neurogenic shock.
What neurogenic shock?
Neurogenic shock is a form of shock. It often occurs after the brain or spinal cord is injured. Signals from the sympathetic nervous system are interrupted, which leads to sudden dilation of the walls of blood vessels and decreased blood pressure. The result is inadequate blood flow to the body's major organs. Neurogenic shock is a life-threatening condition. If someone you know experiences shock at any time, you need to call 911 as soon as possible or they may become seriously injured or die.

What cause hypovolemic shock?
Hypovolemic shock is primarily caused by poor perfusion, usually from excess blood or fluid loss from the body. Hypovolemic shock is the most common type of pre-hospital shock often resulting from moderate or severe trauma.
What is fluid sequestration?
Total body water is normal; local edema reduces blood volume Can cause circulatory shock
What is the role of dextrose in hypovolemic shock?
being a hypotonic solution 5%detrose is not useful in hypovolemic shock. in fact it may cause cellular dehydration by osmotic pulling out of intra cellular fluid.
What are the different kinds of seismic waves?
* Hypovolemic shock. The single most common cause of shock is blood volume loss, resulting from a serious wound or a severe burn leading to hypovolemic shock. * Cardiogenic shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively. This can be due to damage to the heart muscle, most often from a large myocardial infarction. Other causes of cardiogenic shock include arrhythmias, or cardiac valve problems. * Distributive shock. As in hypovolemic shock there is an insufficient volume of blood. This form of relative hypovolaemia is the result of dilation of bloodvessels. Examples of this form of shock are: * Septic shock is caused by overwhelming infection leading to vasodilation. It is treated by antibiotics, fluid replacement, and vasoconstrictors. * Acute adrenal insufficiency is not infrequently the result of discontinuing corticosteroid treatment without tapering the dosage. * Less commonly severe anaphylactic reactions may cause anaphylactic shock as allergens trigger widespread vasodilation and movement of fluid out of the blood into the tissues. * The rarest cause of shock is acute spinal cord injury leading to neurogenic shock. Neurogenic shock is caused by the sudden loss of the sympathetic nervous system signals to the smooth muscle in vessel walls. Without this constant stimulation the vessels relax resulting in a sudden decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and decreased blood pressure. * Obstructive shock. Hereby the flow of blood is obstructed. Several conditions result in this form of shock. * Cardiac tamponade, in which blood in the pericardium prevents inflow of blood into the heart (venous return). Or constrictive pericarditis which has the same effect. * Pneumothorax. Through increased intrathoracic pressure bloodflow to the heart is prevented (venous return). * Pulmonary embolism is the result of a thromboembolic incident in bloodvessels of the lungs and hinders the return of blood to the heart.
What is the shock absorbing fluid within the womb of mammals?
Amniotic fluid
