Stages of Shock Compensatory
1. Compensatory -SNS causes vasoconstriction, increased HR,
2. Progressive increased heart contractility to maintain BP and
3. Irreversible CO
-Body shunts blood from skin, kidneys, GI tract.
Results in cool, clammy skin, hypoactive BS,
decreased UO
-Perfusion of tissues is inadequate
-Acidosis occurs from anaerobic metabolism
-RR inc due to acidosis, may cause compensatory
resp alkalosis. Confusion can also occur

Progressive
-BP regulation can no longer compensate so
BP/MAP decrease
-Hypoperfusion to all organ with further
vasoconstriction
-Metal status further deteriorates from dec cerebral
perfusion and hypoxia
-Lungs start to fail because decreased pulmonary
blood flow causes further hypoxemia, inc CO2 levels,
alveoli collapse and pulmonary edema
-MAP <70, GFR cannot be maintained causes
acute renal failure
-Liver, GI and hematological function affected
-DIC may occur

Irreversible
-Cannot survive
-Organ damage so severe that pt does not respond to
tx
