A life-threatening condition where the circulatory system fails to supply adequate oxygen to meet metabolic demands.

The amount of oxygen delivered to tissues, evaluated through cardiac output and arterial oxygen content.

The measure of how effectively tissues extract oxygen from the blood, normal levels are 60%-75%.

The volume of blood pumped by the heart per minute, crucial for delivering oxygen to tissues.

The amount of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole, influencing stroke volume.

The resistance the ventricles must overcome to eject blood during contraction.

The ability of the heart muscle to contract with strength, affecting cardiac output.

A type of shock caused by insufficient blood volume, often due to severe burns or fluid loss.

Physiological response to hypotension involving catecholamine release.

The kidneys release renin leading to angiotensin II and ADH release.

Stage of shock characterized by profound hypoperfusion and worsening acidosis.

Final stage of shock; irreversible, leading to multisystem organ failure.

Chemoreceptors trigger responses to hypoxia leading to respiratory changes.

Factors that initiate a drop in blood pressure causing compensatory mechanisms.

Abnormally rapid breathing often due to hypoxia.

A condition where the body produces too much acid or kidneys are not removing acid fast enough.

A condition where fluid accumulates in the pericardial sac, compressing the heart.

A clinical syndrome of cardiac tamponade characterized by hypotension, jugular vein distention, and muffled heart sounds.

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, a clinical condition with two or more signs of inflammation.

A severe response to infection involving SIRS criteria and positive cultures.

A critical condition resulting from sepsis characterized by persistent hypotension and increased mortality risk.

Include anxiety, restlessness, difficulty breathing, heart failure, edema, bleeding, and shock.

Chemical messengers that get released excessively during sepsis, leading to inflammation.

A blood test indicator of tissue hypoperfusion and lactic acidosis.

Widening of blood vessels that decreases blood pressure, common in septic shock.

Lab tests to detect infection-causing organisms in the bloodstream.

A blood test measuring various components, including red/white blood cells and platelets.

Tests assessing blood’s ability to clot, important in sepsis management.

A treatment for sepsis involving large volumes of fluids to maintain blood pressure.

A vasopressor drug used to raise blood pressure in septic shock patients.

Potential treatment option for septic shock, but low-dose effectiveness is uncertain.

A test measuring oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in arterial blood.

A blood product used to treat clotting disorders.

The process of replenishing platelets in the blood for clotting.

A severe response after injury or infection leading to organ failure.

Conditions increasing the likelihood of developing MODS include chronic disease and trauma.

MODS increases mortality and prolongs recovery affecting older adults more severely.

Build-up of lactic acid due to inadequate oxygen for metabolism.

An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body.

Sepsis accelerates apoptosis, increasing risk of MODS.

A medication used to improve heart function and blood flow in patients with low cardiac output.

A reduction in the volume of blood the heart pumps per minute, indicating reduced heart function.

A medical condition defined by the absence of urine output, often indicating kidney failure.

An increase in creatinine levels in the blood indicates impaired kidney function.

A long catheter used to monitor hemodynamic status, including cardiac output and pressures.

The pressure in the central venous system, used to assess heart preload and fluid status.

A test to assess the arterial blood supply to the hand before placing arterial lines.

The placement of a transducer at the phlebostatic axis for accurate hemodynamic measurement.
