| | Shock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In neurogenic shock because of vasodilation in the legs, one of the most suggested treatments is placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position, thereby elevating the legs and shunting blood back from the periphery to the body's core. | | | The main goals of the treatment of cardiogenic shock are the re-establishment of circulation to the myocardium, minimising heart muscle damage and improving the heart's effectiveness as a pump. | | | Pneumothorax or haemothorax is treated by inserting a chest tube, pulmonary embolism requires thrombolytica (to reduce the size of the clot), or embolectomy (removal of the thrombus), tamponade is treated by draining fluid from the pericardial space through pericardiocentesis. |

| | Shock is a serious condition in which the blood flow to the vital organs becomes inadequate due to loss of vital fluids, or a sudden drop of blood pressure. | | | Injuries of brain, strokes, shock, concussion with unconsciousness. | | | In the case of shock the first responder should check the pulse and respiration and look to see if there are any external injuries. |

| | Hypovolemic shock can also be found in cases of internal sequestration such as ascites, pancreatitis and intestinal obstruction. | | | Distributive shock is defined as a profound decrease in systemic vascular tone. | | | This includes such causes as anaphylaxis, anaphylactic reactions, spinal cord injury/spinal shock, head injury, the early stage of sepsis, and drug intoxication. |

| | Shock |
| | Shock can be avoided by recognizing that a patient who is unable to drink in order to replace lost fluids needs to be given fluids intravenously (through a needle in a vein). | | | Other types of shock are only preventable insofar as one can prevent their underlying conditions, or can monitor and manage those conditions well enough so that they never progress to the point of shock. | | | Other tests are performed, as appropriate, to try to determine the underlying condition responsible for the patient's state of shock. |

| | The clinical history of patients who present in shock varies depending upon the etiology of the individual patient's condition. | | | The defining clinical findings of shock are described, and current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are presented to help guide the most effective and appropriate treatment for resuscitating the child in shock. | | | While stabilization of the airway and breathing and an aggressive response to improving the circulation of any patient who presents clinically in shock takes precedence over any other workup that might delay resuscitation, additional studies may ultimately help identify an etiology and guide ultimate therapy of the patient in shock. |

| | Shock: A state in which blood flow to and perfusion of peripheral tissues are inadequate to sustain life because of insufficient cardiac output or maldistribution of peripheral blood flow, usually associated with hypotension and oliguria. | | | In some patients who have chronic lung diseases or cardiac dysfunction, measurement of the pulmonary end-diastolic pressure or PCWP, both of which are usually closely related to the left ventricular pressure during diastole, is a better test. | | | Pericardial tamponade is suggested by jugular venous distention, muffled heart sounds, a pericardial rub, and a paradoxical pulse. |

| | Depending on the cause of shock, surgery may be required to repair heart valves or rupture of a ventricle, artificially augment blood flow from the heart, or remove an embolism. | | | A study on animals with septic shock showed that CoQ10 improved heart function, blood flow, and blood pressure; another suggested that pretreatment with CoQ10 improved lung function of the animals who later developed septic shock. | | | Plant-based medicines that support the immune system may be beneficial in treating septic shock. |

| | When a child is in shock, it may be hard to detect a pulse and blood pressure. | | | When a child has a serious injury or infection, the body may react by going into shock, which occurs when the body tried to redirect blood to the brain and other important internal organs. | | | As a result, less blood is sent to the outside parts of the body, so the child appears pale and has cold, clammy skin. |

| | Shock is lack of adequate blood flow to meet the body's needs. | | | At first the body attempts to compensate for the inadequate circulation by speeding up the heart, constricting the skin vessels and maintaining fluid in the circulation by reducing output of urine. | | | Adequate blood flow requires effective heart pumping, open intact vessels and sufficient blood volume to maintain flow and pressure. |
