2. Cardiogenic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiogenic_shock

   Cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency resulting from inadequate blood flow to the body's organs due to the dysfunction of the heart. Signs of inadequate blood flow include low urine production (<30 mL/hour), cool arms and legs, and decreased level of consciousness. People may also have a severely low blood pressure and ...

   Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) and press lightly over the artery. Count your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to find your beats per minute. Some drugs and ...

4. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

   Shock is the state of insufficient blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system. [1][2] Initial symptoms of shock may include weakness, fast heart rate, fast breathing, sweating, anxiety, and increased thirst. [1] This may be followed by confusion, unconsciousness, or cardiac arrest, as complications ...

5. Hypotension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotension

   Hypotension, also known as low blood pressure, is a cardiovascular condition characterized by abnormally reduced blood pressure. [1] Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood [2] and is indicated by two numbers, the systolic blood pressure (the top number) and the diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number), which are the ...

6. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

   007268. [edit on Wikidata] A ventricular assist device (VAD) is an electromechanical device that provides support for cardiac pump function, which is used either to partially or to completely replace the function of a failing heart. VADs can be used in patients with acute (sudden onset) or chronic (long standing) heart failure, which can occur ...

7. Hypovolemic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypovolemic_shock

   Hypovolemic shock is a form of shock caused by severe hypovolemia (insufficient blood volume or extracellular fluid in the body). [1][2] It can be caused by severe dehydration or blood loss. [3][2] Hypovolemic shock is a medical emergency; if left untreated, the insufficient blood flow can cause damage to organs, leading to multiple organ failure.

8. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

   A pulse pressure is considered abnormally low if it is less than 25% of the systolic value. [2] If the pulse pressure is extremely low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, it may indicate low stroke volume, as in congestive heart failure. [3] The most common cause of a low (narrow) pulse pressure is a drop in left ventricular stroke volume.

9. Cardiac output - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_output

   Major factors influencing cardiac output – heart rate and stroke volume, both of which are variable. [1]In cardiac physiology, cardiac output (CO), also known as heart output and often denoted by the symbols , ˙, or ˙, [2] is the volumetric flow rate of the heart's pumping output: that is, the volume of blood being pumped by a single ventricle of the heart, per unit time (usually measured ...
