Slide 1
Case History
You are summoned to the scene of a shooting. You
find a 58-year-old deli owner bleeding profusely from
gunshot wounds to his arms and chest. The man is
cool and pale with a rapid pulse and no discernible
blood pressure. As you apply oxygen, he tells you
that he is thirsty and would like to have a drink of
water.

Shock

Internal bleeding can result in shock.

A state of profound depression of vital processes
of body caused by inadequate perfusion of vital
organs with blood

Anatomy and Physiology Review

Heart

Four chambers
• Atria (receiving chambers)
• Ventricles (pumping chambers)


Left ventricle pumps blood to aorta with each beat;
circulates to body
Right ventricle pumps blood throughout pulmonary arteries
to lungs; unloads carbon dioxide, picks up fresh oxygen

Slide 9
Anatomy and Physiology Review

Blood vessels distribute blood to all parts of body and
lungs.



Arteries carry blood away from heart.
Veins carry blood back to heart.
Arteries branch into smaller vessels, ending as
capillaries.

Capillaries - one cell thick; exchange gas, nutrients, waste
products with alveoli

Stroke Volume and Cardiac Output


Circulation changes according to the body’s
needs.
Changes occur through



Increase in heart rate
Increase in force of contraction
Adequate blood volume is needed.

Stroke Volume

Amount of blood ejected from ventricle with
each beat


Approximately 70 ml
Related to:


Adequate contraction
Venous return
Copyright © 2007, 2004, by Mosby, Inc., an affiliate of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Slide 17
Cardiac Output

Stroke volume  heart rate = cardiac output



SV HR = CO
Example
• 70 ml (SV) 60 (HR) = 4200 ml or 4.2 L (CO)
Cardiac output changes if stroke volume or heart rate
change.
