        Help!  

Question
Answer
What describes a state of collapse and failure of the cardiovascular system in which blood circulation slows and eventually ceases   shock  
🗑
The upper and lower portions of the heart are seperated by what   atrioventricular valves  
🗑
What is located between the ventricules and the arteries into which they pump blood   semiluner valves  
🗑
The pressure in the aorta against which the left ventricle must pump blood is called what   afterload  
🗑
A higher afterload therfore reduces what   stroke volume  
🗑
what is the amount of blood ejected per contraction   stroke volume  
🗑
cardiac out put is = to what   stroke volume x pulse rate  
🗑
Increased venous return to the heart stretches the ventricles somewhat, resulting in what   increased cardiac contractility  
🗑
The theroy that when the heart is stretched it will contract more forecfully is known as the   starling law of the heart  
🗑
Although the amount of blood returning to the right atrium varies somewhat from minute to minute, a normal heart continues to pumop the same % of blood returned. This is called   the ejection fraction  
🗑
What is the circulation of blood within an organ or tissue in adequate amounts to meet the cells current needs for oxygen, nutrients, and waste removal   perfusion  
🗑
The heart needs ___________ perfusion, or it will not function properly   constant  
🗑
the adult male body contains how many ml of blood per kilo   70ml  
🗑
the adult female body contains how many ml of blood per kilo   65ml  
🗑
The body can not tolerate an acute blood loss of more the _____% the total blood volume   20%  
🗑
When platelets aggregate at the site of a cut vessel plugging the hole and sealing the injured portion of the blood vessel, this is called what   hemostasis  
🗑
The passage of dark terry stoles is known as what   melena  
🗑
The passage of stools containing bright red blood is called   hematochezia  
🗑
In any patient with unexplained shock you should always suspect what type of shock   hypovolemic shock  
🗑
In an effort to maintain circulation of blood to the brain, your body will shunt blood from what tissues. List them in order from first to last   Placenta, skin, muscles, gut, kidneys, liver, heart, lungs  
🗑
the most common cause of exogenous hypovolemic shock is what   external bleeding  
🗑
the most common cause of endogenous hypovolemic shock is what   internal bleeding  
🗑
the body can only handle _________ _________ for a limited amount of time.   anaerobic metabolism  
🗑
During anearobic metabolism, incomplete ______ _______ ______ leadts to an acumulation of pyruvic acid   glucose break down  
🗑
what aqre the 3 successive phases of shock   compensated, decompensated, and irreversible  
🗑
The earliest stage of shock in which the body can still compensate for blood loss is known as   Compensated shock  
🗑
A stage of shock where the a BP starts to fall is what   decompensated  
🗑
When shock progresses to a terminal stage of shock   IRREVERSIBLE  
🗑
What are probably the 2 earliest signs of shock   restlessness and anxiety  
🗑
what may be the last measurable factor to change in shock   BP  
🗑
Infants and children can maintain BP until they loose ~ how much of their blood volume   half  
🗑
what causes weak and thready pules   when the vessels are now very narrow and not much volume is moving through them  
🗑
To determine how well the vital organs are being profused you must rely on the patients what   state of consciousness  
🗑
