Perfusion and Shock

• Signs and Symptoms Unresponsiveness Decreasing heart rate Very low blood pressure Slow and shallow respirations Skin that is pale, cool, and moist Dilated, sluggish pupils Respiratory and cardiac arrest can

develop

MECHANISM OF INJURYAND SHOCK

Mechanism of Injury and Shock

• Caring for Shock Perform primary assessment. Ensure ABCs are properly supported. Control external bleeding. Administer oxygen per local protocol. Keep patient in supine position. Calm and reassure patient. Maintain normal body temperature.
