As the blood Is profusely gushing out, and the body can not restock the blood leaving. As the body can not continuously provide oxygenation and perfusion to the tissue. As the blood loss can starts to traumatic.The body goes into Hemorrhagic shock, or also known as Hypovolemic shock. This shock is usually an commonly seen in GI bleeds, childbirth, a traumatic event, a car accident or even a shooting. Many events can cause Hemorrhagic shock, but if the Hemorrhagic shock goes untreated the patient could die.
Another major cause of Hemorrhagic shock is excessive fluid loss from burns, vomiting, prolonged diarrhea, and even excessive sweating. An example of how medical officials measure blood loss is “The average adult blood volume represents 7% of body weight (or

Class I is a non shock state, such as occurs when donating a unit of blood, whereas class IV is a preterminal event requiring immediate therapy. Massive hemorrhage may be defined as loss of total EBV within a 24-hour period, or loss of half of the EBV in a 3-hour period”(Gutierrez, Clinical Review: Hemorrhagic Shock). As the blood increasingly leaves the body, there becomes not enough blood circulation to the heart and other vital organs. After the blood and organs can not get any blood to the organs the body begins to shut down increasingly fast. As the body begins to shut down this is when Hemorrhagic shock begins. As the body goes into Hemorrhagic shock the patient's blood pressures drops to a life threatening systolic and diastolic pressure. Symptoms of Hemorrhagic shock that are considerably mild are nausea, profuse sweating, headache, dizziness and fatigue. Some symptoms that must taken very serious and you must seek medical attention is clammy skin, cold skin, no urine output, weak pulse, confusion, shallow breathing, pale skin, loss of consciousness, rapid heart rate, blue lips, blue fingernails, and lightheadedness. The signs of
Sepsis is defined as an exaggerated, overwhelming and uncontrolled systemic inflammatory response to an initially localised infection or tissue injury, which may lead to severe sepsis and septic shock if left untreated (Daniels, 2009; Robson & Daniels, 2013; Dellinger et al, 2013; Perman, Goyal & Gaieski, 2012; Vanzant & Schmelzer, 2011). Septic shock can be classified by acute circulatory failure as a result of massive vasodilation, increased capillary permeability and decreased vascular resistance in the body, causing refractory hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation. This leads to irreversible tissue ischaemia, end organ failure and ultimately, death (McClelland & Moxon, 2014; Sagy, Al-Qaqaa & Kim, 2013, Dellinger et al, 2013).
Although we haven't covered these systems in detail yet, which of the following systems would involve gas exchange of CO2 and O2?
Also, hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygen, is another pathological physiological outcome of sepsis as less oxygen is reaching the tissue; this is due to the fact that there is less oxygen in the blood.

Have you ever wondered why you have no feeling during surgery? The reasoning behind this is a doctor called an anesthesiologist. For those who are wondering who they are and what they do, anesthesiologists are doctors who, after completing many years of school and training, work many hours to make sure patients feel no pain during surgery, and earn a good salary along with good benefits.
Gibb’s model (1988) first describes the event, so my description of the event is: Mr X was admitted to the medical assessment unit (MAU) from the A+E (accident and emergency) department, with a preliminary diagnosis of a T.I.A. (transient ischemic attack) and dysphasia. Ross and Wilson (1996) describe this as, caused by small...

Head injury is about damage to any of the structures of the head as a result of trauma. It is most often used to refer to an injury to the brain. Head injury involves the bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and other organs of the face or head. The injury may be only a minor bump on the skull or a serious brain injury. Head injury can be either closed or opened. Head injuries either will cause bleeding within the skull or damage on the scalp and surface of the head. These injuries may be in the form of lacerations, bumps, or bruises. There are four main type of head injury, there are closed injury, open injury, concussion, scalp wound.
Imagine a rare, life-threating complication of a simple bacteria, causing many awful symptoms. One may have bleeding, bruising, diarrhea, and much more – all of which could resemble another aliment. However, with a simple culture that reveals one certain type of bacteria, one may be look at something much more serious. Toxic shock syndrome fittingly earns the name “syndrome” in its title as syndrome refers to “a disease that cause a variety of ailments” (1). As mentioned previously, toxic shock syndrome does just that. It may present itself with common symptoms, but a culture will reveal much more. Specifically, a culture will reveal the unnerving bacteria of none other than either Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogens. Both of these bacterium cause what is known as toxic shock syndrome with the only difference in being their initial symptoms. Toxic shock syndrome has been documented to have been first recorded by the Greek physician Hippocrates who lived about 460-377 B.C. (1). However, toxic shock syndrome was questioned and remained a mystery for hundreds of years later. Toxic shock syndrome was thought to be “an obscure disease limited to a particular population of people in which the disease predictably appeared” (1). In the 1900s, toxic shock syndrome became a disease associated with trauma. This trauma may have been from car accidents, industrial mishaps, or even war injuries, but no one person could figure it out entirely. Annually, toxic shock syndrome affects _____.
Head injuries are very serious and dangerous. Some head injuries can cause neurological brain damage. They are commonly found in the sports world, putting athletes at risk. There are a lot of head injuries that are dangerous or could cause serious damage brain and in turn, the body. Because of this, precautions, rules, and guidelines need to be in place to prevent and treat these athletes. If these things are not put in place, it could mean the difference between life and death for these athletes. There are many different injuries that can occur to the head and face. Facial injuries can be very dangerous as it can concern the eyes nose and mouth.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the question of economic reform was extremely prevalent. Since the Soviet Union had been “defeated,” Communism was consequently defeated. This resulted in Western powers, particularly the United States, and Western banks debating what should be done to the post-Soviet economies. At the same time, however, non-Soviet states were also undergoing economic transitions. The two main modes of economic reform were Shock Therapy and Gradual therapy. Shock therapy consisted of a rapid-fire shift from a Communist economy to a capitalist one. Shock therapy was notably practiced in Russia and Poland, with tremendously different results. The most well-known gradualist transition may have been China, but
The most serious and last type of external bleeding is arterial bleeding. As the bloods pumps at a faster rate it is less likely to clot, as a result this leads to a large amount of blood loss.
Trauma is something that I believe we all experience, either personally and/or family or friend. I feel that it is important that an individual need to take care of themselves. If this does not occur, then the individual will suffer on physical and mental standpoint.
People who drink alcohol and use illegal drugs are the people who usually get traumatic injuries. Couple of the reasons why people get infections throughout the body is because of the chemicals that alcohol consists and how illegal drugs reacts to the body systems. The body contains many systems that functions in the body and if the systems in the body are damaged, the body reacts. Furthermore, infections occur from viruses, bacteria, parasites, and organisms. As a result, organisms that come into contact with the body can lead to a medical attention injuries when the infections spread to the body. Traumatic injuries are a common effect of untreated infections; alcohol and other illegal drugs can cause also the body systems to be damaged; fortunately,
