occlusive myocardial infarction resulting in cardiogenic shock. My paper will detail the medical diagnosis and nursing management of cardiogenic shock. Medical Diagnosis Cardiogenic shock is a term used to describe the heart’s inability to supply enough blood to the organs of the body. The heart becomes unable to pump enough volume of blood to meet the body’s demand creating a state of organ hypoperfusion (Goldman‚ 2010). If left uncorrected cardiogenic shock will result in total circulatory collapse

Cardiogenic Shock Septic shock is an extreme immune system response to an infection that has spread throughout the blood and tissues. Severe septic shock often causes extremely low blood pressure‚ which limits blood flow to the body and can result in organ failure and death. Septic shock is most often the result of a bacterial infection‚ but it can also be

Hypovolemic Shock What is Hypovolemic Shock? According to the University of Maryland Medical Center‚ Hypovolemic shock is an emergency condition in which severe blood and fluid loss makes the heart unable to pump enough blood to the body. This type of shock can cause many organs to stop working. Losing about 1/5 or more of the normal amount of blood in your body causes hypovolemic shock. The signs and symptoms of hypovolemia include: • Cold skin • Agitation and anxiety • Decrease in the output

Shock Shock is a syndrome characterized by decreased tissue perfusion and impaired cellular metabolism. This results in an imbalance between the supply of and demand for oxygen and nutrients. The exchange of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level is essential to life. When a cell experiences a state of hypoperfusion‚ the demand for oxygen and nutrients exceeds the supply at the microcirculatory level. Classification of Shock The four main categories of shock are * cardiogenic‚: *
