Understanding Distributive Shock and Anaphylactic Shock

What are the three types of distributive shock discussed in the video?

• Anaphylactic, Cardiogenic, and Septic

• Anaphylactic, Neurogenic, and Septic

• Neurogenic, Cardiogenic, and Hypovolemic

• Septic, Hypovolemic, and Cardiogenic

What does the term 'anaphylactic' mean in the context of shock?

• A shock caused by a heart attack

• A shock caused by a lack of oxygen

• A shock due to excessive blood loss

• A shock resulting from an immune system reaction

Which cells are responsible for recognizing allergens and creating antibodies in anaphylactic shock?

• Platelets

• Red blood cells

• B-cells

• T-cells

What is the role of mast cells in anaphylactic shock?

• They produce antibodies

• They form blood clots

• They transport oxygen

• They release histamine upon activation

What is the primary effect of histamine binding to H1 receptors?

• Bronchodilation

• Decreased heart rate

• Capillary dilation and increased permeability

• Increased gastric acid production

How does histamine affect blood vessels during anaphylactic shock?

• It reduces their permeability

• It strengthens their walls

• It causes them to dilate and become leaky

• It causes them to constrict

What is a potential risk associated with increased gastric acid production in anaphylactic shock?

• Hypertension

• Dehydration

• Aspiration

• Increased heart rate

Which medication is considered the first line of treatment for anaphylactic shock?

• Epinephrine

• Corticosteroids

• Antihistamines

• Albuterol

Which medication can be used to reduce gastric acid production in anaphylactic shock?

• Benadryl

• Zantac

• Albuterol

• Epinephrine

What is the purpose of administering IV fluids in anaphylactic shock?

• To increase blood pressure by replacing lost fluid

• To decrease heart rate

• To reduce histamine levels

• To prevent infection
