Syncope (cont.)Syncope (cont.)
– Most frequent cause—neurally mediated syncope (NMS)• Sudden drop in blood pressure reducing blood
circulation to the brain – S&S—typical NMS
• Occurs while standing • Often preceded by prodromal symptoms• Restlessness, pallor, weakness, sighing, yawning,
diaphoresis, and nausea• Followed by lightheadedness, blurred vision, collapse,
and LOC

Syncope (cont.)Syncope (cont.)
• Syncope that suggests a serious disorder:
– Occurring with exercise
– Associated with heart palpitations or irregularities
– Associated with family history of recurrent syncope or sudden death
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Syncope (cont.)Syncope (cont.)
• Management– Responds well to avoiding stimuli that trigger the
event– If syncope does occur:
• Assess and monitor vital signs • Place the individual in a safe, lying down position
– LOC >few minutes, breathing or cardiac impairment—activate EMS
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
ShockShock
• Heart unable to exert adequate pressure to circulate enough oxygenated blood to vital organs
• Could be due to:– Damaged heart– Low blood volume– Blood vessel dilation
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Shock (cont.)Shock (cont.)
• Result– Heart pumps faster, but due to ↓ volume, pulse is
weak and BP ↓– Circulatory distress—if not corrected, can lead to
unconsciousness and death • Occurs in injuries involving severe pain, bleeding,
fracture, or intra-abdominal or intrathoracic injuries• Severity varies with variety of factors• Types of shock
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Shock (cont.)Shock (cont.)• S&S

Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Sudden Cardiac Death (cont.)Sudden Cardiac Death (cont.)
– Mitral valve prolapse• Redundant tissue is found on one or both leaflets
of the mitral valve• During a ventricular contraction, part of the
redundant tissue pushes back beyond the normal limit
• Produces an abnormal sound followed by a systolic murmur as blood is regurgitated back through the mitral valve into the left atrium
Copyright © 2013 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Sudden Cardiac Death (cont.)Sudden Cardiac Death (cont.)– Myocarditis
