Question 1

What is the main consequence of loss of GIT function during shock?

Answer 1

• protein loss
• fluid loss
• endotoxin absorption
• bacterial translocation

These consequences can significantly impact the patient’s condition during shock.

Question 2

Define Class I shock.

Answer 2

• Mild blood loss
• <15% of total volume
• Body can restore volume deficits
• May have no symptoms other than a drop in urine output

Class I shock indicates the body’s ability to compensate for minor blood loss.

Question 3

Define Class II shock.

Answer 3

• 15-30% blood loss
• Onset of hyperdynamic shock
• Agitation or anxiety present
• Compensation can normalize blood pressure, but perfusion deficits persist

Class II shock indicates a more significant blood loss with symptoms of agitation.

Question 4

Define Class III shock.

Answer 4

• Profound tachycardia and tachypnea
• Anxiety and agitation
• Urine output may cease
• Prolonged jugular filling and CRT
• Weak pulses and decreased extremity temperatures
• Lactic acid builds up
• Blood pressure drops despite increased heart rate, cardiac contractility, and total peripheral resistance

Class III shock indicates severe physiological distress and compensation failure.

Question 5

Define Class IV shock.

Answer 5

• Uncompensated, life-threatening hemorrhagic shock
• Bradycardia
• Obtundation
• Anuria
• Profound hypotension
• Circulatory collapse
• Death

Class IV shock represents a critical state requiring immediate medical intervention.
