Study Notes

Hemorrhage

Defined as escape of blood outside the cardiovascular system (CVS).
Causes include:
- Arterial/Venous Rupture: Often due to trauma, atherosclerosis, or aneurysms.
- Capillary Rupture: Linked to chronic venous congestion and hemorrhagic diathesis.
Blood can accumulate in pulmonary veins, commonly due to left-sided heart failure.

Cardiogenic Shock

Results from decreased cardiac output (COP).
May arise from:
- Septicemia: Bacterial infection leading to toxin release.
- Cardiac Diseases: Various cardiac conditions impairing function.
- Pulmonary Embolism: Blood clots blocking pulmonary arteries.

Pathophysiology

Shock leads to blood pooling, ineffective circulation, and insufficient oxygen delivery.
Sympathetic nervous system failure along with Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) malfunction can exacerbate the condition.

Consequences of Shock

Tissue Injury: Ischemia leading to cell necrosis.
Organ Damage:
- Kidney: Can result in irreversible anuria and renal failure (RF).
- Brain: Severe cases may lead to coma.

Clinical Manifestation and Stages

Understanding the clinical manifestations and progression stages of shock is crucial for diagnosis and management.
