해설
Shock is a life-threatening condition where there is insufficient blood flow to meet the body's metabolic demands. It can be cardiogenic (heart failure), hypovolemic (blood loss), distributive (sepsis), or obstructive (pulmonary embolism). Signs include low blood pressure, rapid pulse, cold/clammy skin, and altered mental status. Immediate intervention is crucial for survival.
Shock Types and Characteristics:
- Cardiogenic shock: Heart fails to pump effectively
- Hypovolemic shock: Severe blood/fluid loss
- Distributive shock: Blood vessel dilation causing poor distribution
- Obstructive shock: Physical obstruction of blood flow
- Neurogenic shock: Loss of sympathetic tone
Vital Signs Monitoring:
- Blood pressure
- Heart rate
- Respiratory rate
- Temperature
- Oxygen saturation
- Mental status
