Cardiogenic Shock
What does SIRS stand for in the context of shock syndrome?
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
What is the defining feature of MODS (Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome)?
Failure of two or more organ systems
Which type of shock is characterized by loss of intravascular fluid volume due to hemorrhage or GI loss?
Hypovolemic Shock
Which type of shock is characterized by a hemodynamic phenomenon and can occur within 30 minutes of a spinal cord injury at the fifth thoracic (T5) vertebra or above?
Neurogenic Shock
What are the clinical manifestations of anaphylactic shock?
Swelling of lips and tongue, angioedema
What are the three major pathophysiologic effects in septic shock?
Vasodilation, maldistribution of blood flow, myocardial dysfunction
What is the cause of obstructive shock?
Physical obstruction to blood flow with decreased cardiac output (CO)
What is a characteristic clinical manifestation of distributive shock that occurs due to spinal cord injury or spinal anesthesia?

This quiz covers the characteristics of shock syndrome, including decreased tissue perfusion, impaired cellular metabolism, and the imbalance in supply/demand for oxygen and nutrients. It also discusses the types of shock, such as cardiogenic shock, hypovolemic shock, distributive shock, and obstructive shock, as well as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS).
