The document discusses various types of first aid shocks, including septic shock, anaphylaxis, cardiogenic shock, and hypovolemic shock. Septic shock results from infections leading to low blood pressure, while anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction causing airway tightening. Cardiogenic shock is due to heart problems, and hypovolemic shock occurs from excessive blood or fluid loss.

1. DIFFERENT TYPES OF
FIRST AID SHOCKS
Septic shock occurs from infections
affecting the whole body that lead to low
blood pressure. It affects infants, the
elderly and persons with weakened
immune systems. Any bacteria, fungi and
some viruses can cause septic shock.

Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction
affecting the whole body. When
reacting to allergies, the body releases
histamine which causes the airway to
tighten and inflammation in other body
organs.
This type of shock occurs from heart
problems. In this case the heart is
damaged and cannot pump blood as it
should. Usually it results from heart
attack/myocardial infarction and other
serious heart conditions.
Results from excessive loss of blood and
body fluids due to injury. That is, when a
person loses a fifth or more of their
blood content. The heart cannot pump
sufficient blood for the body organs.
Occurs from damage to the nervous
system. It is common with spinal cord
injuries from accidents and other forms
of injuries.
