SHOCK  Mechanism  Heart  Pump failure  Blood vessels  Pipe failure  Blood  Fluid loss  Causes  Bleeding  Burns  Head and spine injuries  Chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries  Heart attack  Asthma  Poisoning  …

SHOCK  Mechanism  Signs Initially:  Rapid pulse  Rapid breathing  Pale, cold, clammy skin, lips and nail beds  Sweating As shock develops:  Grey-blue skin (cyanosis), especially inside the lips  Weakness and dizziness  Nausea and possibly vomiting  Thirst  Breathing is shallow  Weak thready pulse As the brain‘s oxygen supply weakens:  Altered mental status  Restlessness and aggressiveness  Gasping for air  Unconsciousness
