Cardiogenic Shock Quiz

What are the common causes of cardiogenic shock?

• Lung cancer, pneumonia, and asthma

• Diabetes, hypertension, and obesity

• Heart attack, heart failure, and cardiomyopathy

• Broken bone, concussion, and sprained ankle

How does a heart attack lead to cardiogenic shock?

• The heart's ability to pump effectively due to damage from a heart attack

• The heart's inability to pump effectively due to excessive caffeine intake

• The heart's ability to pump effectively due to lack of exercise

• The heart's inability to pump effectively due to damage from a heart attack

What are the typical symptoms of cardiogenic shock?

• Normal breathing, normal heart rate, strong pulse, warm and dry skin, clear consciousness, and no chest pain

• Low blood pressure, slow breathing, strong pulse, warm and dry skin, and no confusion

• High blood pressure, slow heart rate, warm and dry skin, clear consciousness, and no chest pain

• Rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, weak pulse, cold and clammy skin, confusion or unconsciousness, and chest pain

How does cardiogenic shock affect blood pressure and heart rate?

• It causes low blood pressure and increased heart rate.

• It causes low blood pressure and decreased heart rate.

• It causes high blood pressure and decreased heart rate.

• It causes normal blood pressure and heart rate.

What diagnostic tests are used to identify cardiogenic shock?

• Urinalysis and stool sample

• ECG, echocardiogram, chest X-ray, blood tests, and cardiac catheterization

• MRI and CT scan

• Blood pressure monitoring and temperature measurement

How is an echocardiogram used in the diagnosis of cardiogenic shock?

• It evaluates the oxygen levels in the blood

• It measures the blood pressure in the arteries

• It assesses the pumping ability of the heart muscle.

• It monitors the glucose levels in the body

What are the primary treatment options for cardiogenic shock?

• Antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals

• Physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care

• Medications, inotropes, vasopressors, mechanical support devices, heart transplant

• Diet, exercise, meditation

How does the use of inotropes help in the treatment of cardiogenic shock?

• By increasing the strength of the heart's contractions

• By constricting the blood vessels

• By slowing down the heart rate

• By decreasing the strength of the heart's contractions

What are the potential complications of cardiogenic shock?

• Broken bones, skin rash, and headache

• Hypertension, diabetes, and obesity

• Organ failure, pulmonary edema, and cardiac arrest

• Anemia, arthritis, and insomnia

How does cardiogenic shock increase the risk of organ failure?

• It reduces the amount of blood and oxygen that reaches the organs.

• It has no effect on the amount of blood and oxygen that reaches the organs.

• It increases the amount of blood and oxygen that reaches the organs.

• It only affects the skin and not the internal organs.
