1. Shock

2. Five Types of Shock
Septic Shock- Comes from bacteria that multiplies in your blood to release toxins. This is common in a rupture appendix or meningitis.
Anaphylactic shock- Occurs when you have an allergic reaction to anything such as an animal bit, insect sting, and certain medications.
Hypovolemic shock- The cause of severe blood and body fluid loss such as traumatic bodily injury causing the heart to not be able to pump effectively.
Cadiogenic shock- It occurs when the heart is damaged and can not pump effectively supplying blood to the vital organs. This leads to Heart Attacks, and Congestive Heart Failure.
Neurogenic shock- This causes spinal cord injuries caused by traumatic accidents and injuries.

3. What is Shock?
It is the physical condition that results in the loss of circulating body fluids.
When the body looses enough fluid it can lead to a drop in blood pressure.
The blood will no longer be applied to the vital organs and therefore they will appear pale.
When someone’s blood pressure drops that low, the blood in the body will start to deteriorate and the remaining of blood will be directed to go straight to the brain.

4. Signs and Symptoms A person will have clammy, cold, and pale skin.
A fast, rapid but weak pulse
Will feel really dizzy and weak
A person will become confused and unconscious.
Breathing and their heartbeat will stop
Take any necessary action if needed.

5. Stages 1 Initial Stage of Shock
Within the body at this initial stage, cells begin to change due to problems with perfusion and oxygenation.

6. Stage 2 Compensatory Stage of Shock
Hyperventilation, an increased rate of breathing, may help to improve oxygen flow to the cells in order to neutralize the newly acidic conditions

7. Stage 3 Progressive Stage of Shock
Cellular function deteriorates, anaerobic metabolism leads to an increase in acid production within the cells, and the compensatory mechanisms are not able to maintain the balance required in order to protect the organs.

8. Stage 4 Refractory Stage of Shock
Organ failure which can lead to death.

9. What to do if someone seems fine after shock?
Call 911
Have the person lie down on his/her back with their feet higher than their head.
Check for signs of circulation- ( Breathing, coughing, or any type of movement) begin CPR if needed.
Keep the victim warm and comfortable – put blankets over the person and not to over heat them
Turn the person on his/ her side- turn them on their side in case of any vomiting, and coughing up blood to prevent choking.
Seek Treatment for any type of injuries- Keep a close eye on the victim and monitor their vital signs.
