Shock
• Syndrome characterized by decreased tissue
perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism
– Imbalance in supply/demand for O2 and nutrients
Shock (Cont’d)
• Classification of shock
– Low blood flow
• Cardiogenic
• Hypovolemic
– Maldistribution of blood flow
• Septic
• Anaphylactic
• Neurogenic
Low Blood Flow
Carcinogenic Shock
• Definition
– Systolic or diastolic dysfunction
– Compromised cardiac output (CO)
Low Blood Flow
Cardiogenic Shock (Cont’d)
• Precipitating causes

– Severe systemic or pulmonary hypertension
– Cardiac tamponade (Obstructive)
– Myocardial depression from metabolic problems
Pathophysiology of Cardiogenic Shock
Low Blood Flow
Cardiogenic Shock

– Anxiety, confusion, agitation
• ↑ in pulmonary artery wedge pressure
• Decreased renal perfusion and UO
Low Blood Flow
Hypovolemic Shock
• Absolute hypovolemia: Loss of intravascular
fluid volume
– Hemorrhage
– GI loss (e.g., vomiting, diarrhea)
– Fistula drainage
– Diabetes insipidus
– Hyperglycemia
– Diuresis
Low Blood Flow
Hypovolemic Shock (Cont’d)
• Relative hypovolemia
– Results when fluid volume moves out of the
vascular space into extravascular space (e.g.,
interstitial or intracavitary space)
– Termed third spacing

within 30 minutes of a spinal cord injury at the
fifth thoracic (T5) vertebra or above and can
last up to 6 weeks
• Results in massive vasodilation leading to
pooling of blood in vessels
