There is a lack of cardiac output and end-organ perfusion secondary to a decrease in myocardial contractility and/or valvular insufficiency. Acute causes - myocardial infarction, dysrhythmias or toxicologic pathologies. Heart failure is a chronic cause. Blunt cardiac injury may present similar to MI. Excess of volume administration or increased after load can result in pulmonary edema and increased myocardial ischemia.

Observed with serial abdominal exams. Findings of contrast extravasation may be embolized by IR. For surgical patients - fluid resuscitation is essential. Risks of surgery include disruption of the natural tamponade process due to the evacuation of large amounts of blood resulting in hypovolemia. Hypovolemic Shock - ANSCaused by a decrease in the amount of circulating blood volume. In trauma typically results from hemorrhage, but can result in a precipitous loss of volume, ie vomiting or diarrhea. Burn trauma can result in hypovolemic shock from damage to the cell membranes leading to plasma and protein leakage. of body water, results in inadequate perfusion. Hyperventilation can cause increased intrathoracic pressure resulting in compression of the heart and decreased cardiac output. Initial Assessment - ANS1. Preparation and Triage 2. Primary Survey 3.
