What else can I help you with?
Why are you extremely thirsty after myocardial infarction?
After an attack (myocardial infarction), the patient is in shock. This causes a fluid shift, thus making the patient thirsty.
What is the sudden cessation of oxygen delivery?
profound shock (as seen with acute myocardial infarction)
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 do cyanosis and increased breathing rate indicate?
It could be either a Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) or a form of shock.
How does the body compensate for hypovolemic shock?
early sign of hypovolemic shock
Is most common form of shock hypovolemic shock?
only that form of shock caused by large scale loss of blood.
Hypovolemic shock cause by severe burns is the result of a loss of?
whole blood
What is a psychogenic shock?
a type of hypovolemic shock
Which part of the heart fails to work effectivly during cardiogenic shock?
Ventricles of your heart fail to work effectively in cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock usually fallow the heart attack, also called as myocardial infarction.
What is the pathophysiology of shock?
Cardiogenic, hypovolemic, or septic shock?
What is the role of dextrose in hypovolemic shock?
Dextrose is not typically used in the management of hypovolemic shock. In hypovolemic shock, the priority is to restore intravascular volume with crystalloid fluids like normal saline or lactated Ringer's. Dextrose is a sugar solution used to provide calories and treat low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can sometimes occur as a complication of shock.
Are hemorrhagic shock and hypovolaemic shock the same?
Hemorrhagic shock is a specific type of hypovolemic shock caused by significant blood loss, leading to inadequate circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues. Hypovolemic shock, on the other hand, refers to a broader category of shock resulting from a decrease in blood volume, which can be due to factors like dehydration or fluid loss in addition to hemorrhage. While all hemorrhagic shock is hypovolemic, not all hypovolemic shock is hemorrhagic.
