La Biblia sanciona la pena capital

Cristianos y creyentes en la Biblia, la Palabra de Dios pide la pena de muerte para el asesinato en primer grado, la violación y otros actos de violencia. La Biblia nos dice que contemplemos la bondad Y la severidad de Dios, cuya Palabra -incluso en el Nuevo Testamento- NO habla en contra de la pena capital. Lea ahora la prueba bíblica.

What Are the Different Types of Shock?

starLife.gif

What Is Shock?



Perfusion is a term used among health care providers indicating supply of oxygen to the cells of the body and removal of wastes from those cells resulting from blood flow through capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest of blood vessels. Hypoperfusion is inadequate perfusion, commonly known as shock. Few laypeople are aware of the fact that there are different types of shock.

Simple Definitions for Different Types of Shock



Hypovolemic, cardiogenic, and neurogenic shock are the three major types of shock. Hypvolemic shock is hypoperfusion resulting from a loss of blood or fluid. When it sets in as a result of a loss of blood, it is often referred to as hemorrhagic shock. Hemorrhage means bleeding, particularly uncontrolled bleeding. Remember that bleeding can be internal, external, or a combination of both. Therefore, a person can suffer hemorrhagic shock in the absence of visible external bleeding. Victims of burns lose some plasma (the fluid portion of blood). Again, when hypoperfusion is caused by blood OR fluid loss, it is hypovolemic shock, the most commonly seen type of shock by emergency medical technicians (EMTs).

Cardiogenic shock does not result from a loss of blood or plasma. However, it is still considered a life-threatening condition. When the pumping action of the heart becomes inadequate, cells of the body can suffer "starvation" of oxygen and contamination due to the retention of waste products. This type of shock can result from a myocardial infarction (heart attack) or congestive heart failure (CHF).

Nerve paralysis can give rise to neurogenic shock, which is hypoperfusion caused by dilated blood vessels. Wider (dilated) blood vessels might not be able to be filled with blood, resulting in inadequate flow of blood to the cells of the body. It can occur after an injury to the spinal cord.

Signs and Symptoms of Different Types of Shock



Whether the cause of shock is hypovolemic, cardiogenic, or neurogenic, most of the signs and symptoms for one type are identical to another type. One of the most important things to remember about these different types of shock is that there are early signs and symptoms and there are late signs and symptoms. If you know the early signs and symptoms, the victim might have a better chance of survival because of early detection and early intervention.

Below is a list of the signs and symptoms of the different types of shock in the order in which they almost always appear.

1. Altered mental status - The brain is one of the most sensitive organs to insufficient oxygen. Consequently, even slight alterations in mental status can be an indication of possible shock. The person might become very anxious or even combative.

2. Pale, cool, clammy skin - The body is the "first responder" to its medical emergencies. One of the ways it attempts to help itself when facing shock is to divert life-giving blood away from the skin toward vital organs. As blood is diverted away from the skin for the sake of organs such as the heart and brain, temperature decreases and skin color "fades." Note that this particular sign is not typically seen in neurogenic shock.

3. Organs such as the heart and brain are more important than those of the digestive system. Therefore, the body, in an attempt to save itself can divert blood away from the digestive system in favor of more vital organs, resulting in nausea and vomiting. If someone in shock says that he is thirsty, this is not a good sign.

4. Changes in vital signs - The first of the vital signs to change are respiratory and pulse rates. The pulse increases--evidence that the heart is trying to protect itself and the rest of the body by pumping faster. However, as it keeps this up, the pulse eventually becomes weak as the amount of blood it is pumping decreases. Breathing also increases in a desperate attempt to take in more oxygen to be delivered to cells to keep them alive. Eventually, respirations can become shallow and labored.

5. Drop in blood pressure - This is a very late sign indicating that the person is very close to slipping away.

Other signs and symptoms of the different types of shock are pupils that are dilated and cyanosis (bluish color) around the lips and the beds of the nails.
