Understanding Shock: Diagnosis and Treatment

What is the primary issue in shock that affects the body's cells?

• Decreased tissue perfusion

• Increased blood pressure

• Enhanced oxygenation

• Excessive energy production

Which test is used to detect heart cell damage by measuring a specific enzyme?

• Pulmonary function test

• Blood pressure test

• Troponin blood test

• Echocardiogram

What does a high pulmonary capillary wedge pressure indicate in terms of heart function?

• Increased blood volume

• Hypovolemic shock

• Cardiogenic shock

• Normal heart function

Which method is least invasive for assessing a patient's oxygen levels?

• Pulmonary artery catheter

• Pulse oximetry

• Central venous oxygen saturation

• Arterial blood gas

What does an arterial blood gas (ABG) test measure besides oxygen levels?

• Blood pressure

• Heart rate

• Carbon dioxide and bicarbonate levels

• Liver enzyme levels

What is a byproduct of anaerobic metabolism that can indicate shock?

• Carbon dioxide

• Lactic acid

• Bicarbonate

• Oxygen

Which organ's function is assessed by measuring creatinine levels in the blood?

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Heart

• Lungs

What is the first step in treating shock according to the video?

• Administering antibiotics

• Priming the pump with fluids

• Increasing heart rate

• Reducing blood pressure

How can blood vessels be tightened to improve blood pressure in shock treatment?

• By administering diuretics

• By increasing oxygen supply

• By using medications that increase resistance

• By reducing fluid intake

What is the role of systemic vascular resistance in blood pressure regulation?

• It only affects heart rate

• It is a component of blood pressure

• It has no effect on blood pressure

• It decreases blood pressure
