Term
Cardiogenic, Neurogenic/Vasogenic, Anaphylactic, Septic and Hypovolemic are all types of
Definition
Shock
Term
Cardiogenic shock is caused by
Definition
heart failure, MI, CHF, myocarcial ischemia, pericardial infections, dysrhythmias, excessive right ventricular afterload drug toxicity
Term
Neurogenic/Vasogenic shock is caused by
Definition
neural alterations in vascular smooth muscle tone; anything that stimulates parasympathetic activity or inhibits sympathetic activity of vascular smooth muscles
Term
Anaphylactic shock is caused by
Definition
hypersensitivity or immunologic alterations leading to vasodilation and peripheral pooling
Term
Septic shock is caused by
Definition
infectious process; a component of SIRS, this syndrome begins with infection progressing to bacteremia then sepsis, then severe sepsis, then septic shock and multi organ failure syndrome (MODS) Septic shock begins with bacteria in bloodstream either directly from site of infection or from toxic substances released by bacteria
Term
Microbial phenomenon characterized by inflammatory response to presence of microorganisms is called
Definition
Infection
Term
Presence of bacteria in blood
Definition
Bacteremia
Term
System inflammatory response to a variety of severe clinical insults manifested by 2 or more signs:
Temp <36C or >38C;
HR>90;
Resp >20breaths/min or ACO2<32mmHg;
WBC >12,000 or <4000
is called
Definition
SIRS - Systemic inflammatory response syndrome
Term
Systemic response to infections
Definition
Sepsis
Term
Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction, hypotension or hypoperfusion (lactic acidosis, oliguria or AMS) is called
Definition
Severe Sepsis
Term
Severe sepsis with circulatory failure is called
Definition
Septic shock
Term
Presence of altered organ function in acutely ill individuals is called
Definition
MODS Multiple Organ dysfunction syndrome
Term
MODS seen in shock affect the following organ/tissue
Definition
Brain Kidneys Lung Liver Skin and Gastrointestinal tract
Term
Lethargy, confusion and stupor are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Brain
Term
Azotemia, impaired drug excretion, oliguria, edema and acidosis are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Kidneys
Term
Dyspnea, orthopnea, pulmonary hypertension, tachypnea, rales and pleural effusions are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Lungs
Term
Jaundice, abdominal distention, muscle wasting, bleeding, enlargment, tenderness and ascites are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Liver
Term
Cold, pale, cyanotic, perspiring extremities, impaired heat loss, dependent pitting edema are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Skin
Term
Ascites, constant fullness, diarrhea, mucosal ulceration and bleeding are signs & symptoms of MODS affecting the
Definition
Gastrointestinal tract
Term
In ICD-10, bacteremia is coded with a symptom code and bacteremia with sepsis is coded to
Definition
Sepsis
Term
In ICD-10, Severe sepsis requires 3 code assignments
Definition
code underlying systemic infection
code subcategory R65.2 Severe sepsis
code associated acute organ dysfunction
Term
In ICD-10 Septic shock requires 2 code assignments
Definition
code underlying systemic infection
code for severe sepsis with septic shock
Term
This type of shock develops quickly after major burn injuries
Definition
Hypovolemic
Term
1st Degree, 2nd Degree superficial partial thickness, 2nd Degree deep partial thickness and 3rd Degree Full thickness are classifications for
Definition
Burn
Term
What classification of burn results in
Destruction of epidermis only
with blister after 24 hours and
peeling of skin after 24-48 hours healing in 3 - 5 days
no scarring
Definition
First Degree erythema
Term
What classification of burn results in
Destruction of epidermis& some dermis
Present within minutes of injury
Re to pale ivory, moist surface
Heals in 21 - 28 days
Scarring may be present influenced by genetic predisposition
Definition
Second degree blistering
superficial partial thickness
Term
What classification of burn results in
Destruction of epidermis & dermis
Pain sensors are diminished
Blisters may or may not appear
Flat dehydrated layer of tissue that list off in sheets
Mottled areas of waxy white tissue, dry surface
Heals in 30 days to many months with excision and grafting
Highest incidence of scarring influenced by genetic predispositon
Definition
Second degree blistering
deep partial thickeness
Term
What classification of burn results in
Destruction of epidermis, dermis & subq
Blisters are rate;
Flat dehydrated layer of tissue lifts off easily
Wound is white,cherry red or black
may contained visible thrombosed veins, dry, hard leathery surface
Will no heal, may closed from edges as secondary healing if wound is small
requires excision and grafting
Scarring could be minimized by early excision and grafting
Scarring influenced by genetic predisposition
Definition
Third degree Full Thickness Involvement
Term
ICD-10 classifies Burns by
Definition
depth, extent and by agent
Term
Burns at the same site are classified to
Definition
the highest degree of burn
Term
This classification provides a percentage of surface area involved in the burn and must be documented by the physician for code assignment
Definition
Rule of Nines
Term
Rules of Nine provide the physician with the percentage of surface area burned for
Definition
adults
Term
TBSA - total body surface area identifies
Definition
the extent of body burned and is based on the rule of nines for adults and the Lund Browder chart for children
Term
Burns over 20% of the TBSA result in complications of large water loss and fluctuation of fluid and electrolytes in tissue are considered
Definition
major burn injuries
Term
These burns are not included in the TBSA estimate
Definition
First degree burns
Term
This response can be caused by infection, trauma, burns, pancreatitis, ischemia and hemorrhage
Definition
SIRS
Term
The Lund-Browder chart identifies the extent of the body burned for this group of patients
Definition
children
