- The signs and symptoms of shock include low blood pressure (hypotension); overbreathing (hyperventilation); a weak, rapid pulse; cold, clammy, grayish-bluish (cyanotic) skin; decreased urine flow (oliguria); and a sense of great anxiety and foreboding, confusion, and sometimes combativeness.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) Skin shedding may occur on the palms and soles of the feet about one or two weeks after the initial infection begins. Picture of skin loss in toxic shock syndrome (TSS); SOURCE: CDC. Some clinicians classify TSS by stages -- others do not. However, early symptoms such as a high fever and a falling blood pressure may occur before later stages of organ damage appear.

Chapter 13 Nutrition through the Life Cycle: From Childhood to the Elderly Years In sepsis, blood pressure drops, resulting in shock. Major organs and body systems, including the kidneys, liver, lungs, and central nervous system stop working properly because of poor blood flow. A change in mental status and very fast breathing may be the earliest signs of sepsis. In general, symptoms of sepsis can include: Chills.

- Other systemic (non-skin) symptoms include nausea, rapid pulse, rapid breathing, fever, dizziness, fatigue, headache, chills, fluid loss, and electrolyte imbalance. Sun poisoning symptoms are naturally caused by overexposure to the sun's rays or tanning bed rays.

Shock (circulatory) Shock is a life-threatening medical condition of low blood perfusion to tissues resulting in cellular injury and inadequate tissue function. The typical signs of shock are low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, signs of poor end-organ perfusion, and weak pulses. The shock index, defined as heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure, is an accurate diagnostic measure that is more useful than hypotension and tachycardia in isolation. Under normal conditions, a number between 0.5 and 0.8 is typic

Shock Shock: Shock, in physiology, failure of the circulatory system to supply sufficient blood to peripheral tissues to meet basic metabolic requirements for oxygen and nutrients and the incomplete removal of metabolic wastes from the affected tissues.

What Are the Symptoms of Sepsis? Sepsis is a process that occurs in three stages. It begins with basic sepsis, develops into severe sepsis and then progresses to septic shock, according to Mayo Clinic. Severe sepsis causes a significant decrease in urine production, a sudden change in mental status, a decreased platelet count, difficulty breathing and an abnormal heart function.

Anaphylaxis SYSTEMIC anaphylaxis represents the most dramatic and potentially catastrophic manifestation of immediate hypersensitivity. This syndrome can affect virtually any organ in the body, although reactions involving the pulmonary, circulatory, cutaneous, neurologic, and gastrointestinal systems are the most common. Reactions range widely in severity from mild pruritus and urticaria to shock and death.

A basic overview of shock Causes and symptoms. Shock is caused by three major categories of problems: cardiogenic (meaning problems associated with the heart's functioning); hypovolemic (meaning that the total volume of blood available to circulate is low); and septic shock (caused by overwhelming infection, usually by bacteria).

- What is shock? Shock is a condition that affects the body’s major organs and occurs when the body does not receive an adequate flow of blood. There are multiple causes for shock, including heart disorders, severe dehydration, trauma, surgical blood loss, and infection. Shock is commonly caused by serious trauma that includes significant internal or external bleeding.

- Symptoms of Shock. Symptoms of shock are similar when the cause is low blood volume or inadequate pumping action of the heart. The condition may begin with sluggishness, sleepiness, and confusion. The skin becomes cold and sweaty and often bluish and pale.

History Because systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) represent a clinical continuum (see Overview), the specific features exhibited in any given case depend on where the patient falls on that continuum. Fever is a common feature of sepsis.

Fiddleback Spider Some bites may result in severe dermonecrotic lesions but rarely does the bite of the brown recluse generate severe cutaneous skin or systemic symptoms. The systemic symptoms from fiddleback or brown recluse spider bite may include vomiting, fever, rashes, nausea, and muscle and joint pain. Cutaneous symptoms are more frequent than systemic symptoms.

Pilots and Copilots. Who are These People? “The pilot” did this, “the pilot” said that. Well, which pilot exactly, because there are always at least two pilots in a jetliner cockpit — a captain and first officer — and both of these individuals are fully qualified to operate the aircraft.

Septic shock Signs of end-organ dysfunction are present in septic shock, including kidney failure, liver dysfunction, changes in mental status, or elevated serum lactate. Septic shock is diagnosed if there is refractory hypotension (low blood pressure that does not respond to treatment). This means that intravenous fluid administration alone is not enough to maintain a patient's blood pressure.

- Sepsis (/ˈsɛpsɨs/) is a whole-body inflammatory response to an infection. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion.epsis is more common among males than females. The terms septicemia and blood poisoning referred to the microorganisms or their toxins in the blood and are no longer commonly used. The condition has been described at least since the time of Hippocrates.

Shock Specific treatment depends on the type of shock, but could include: Hypovolaemic shock – stopping the bleeding and boosting the person’s blood volume with intravenous fluids (fluids given directly into the person’s bloodstream through a tube and needle). In severe cases, the person may need a blood transfusion.

- Electric shock occurs when an electric current flows through the body. The human body is made up of 60% to 70% water. This makes it a good conductor of electricity. Burns, damage to internal organs, heart rhythm problems, and death can result from electric shock.Signs & Symptoms Shocking sensations. Numbness or tingling. A change in vision, speech, or in any sensation. Burns or open wounds. small child who bites or sucks on an electric cord can have a facial injury or distinct burn around the rim of the mouth. Electric Shock can cause tissue damage under the skin's surface. Causes Touching a high-voltage (more than 1,000 volts) source, such as high-tension wires that fall during a storm.
