There is a lack of cardiac output and end-organ perfusionsecondary to a decrease in myocardial contractility and/or valvular insufficiency.Acute causes - myocardial infarction, dysrhythmias or toxicologic pathologies. Heartfailure is a chronic cause.Blunt cardiac injury may present similar to MI.Excess of volume administration or increased after load can result in pulmonary edemaand increased myocardial ischemia.Inotropic support to improve contractility.Circulation and Control of Hemorrhage Assessment - ANSInspect: Uncontrolledexternal bleeding, skin colorAuscultate: Muffled heart sounds - may indicate pericardial tamponadePalpate: carotid and/or femoral pulses for rate, rhythm, strengthCirculation and Control of Hemorrhage Interventions - ANSControl and treat externalbleeding: apply direct pressure, elevate bleeding extremity, apply pressure over arterialsites, consider use of a tourniquet.2 large bore IVs, if unable consider IO, obtain labs and crossmatch.Initiate IVF of warmed isotonic crystalloid solution.

With the loss of sympathetic nervous systeminput in spinal cord injury, unopposed vagal activity may result in decreased cardiacoutput through bradycardia.TREATMENT: increase systemic resistance, controlled volume replacement.Vasoconstriction and in some cases (neurogenic) Atropine to counteract bradycardia.E (Primary Survey) - ANSExposure and Environmental ControlExposure and Environmental Control - ANSCarefully and completely undress thepatient.

RUQ, 6th to 10th ribs. Encased by Glissoncapsule with blood vessels, lymphatics and nerves. Filters 1.7L of blood per minute.The liver filters out toxins, takes the nutrients and returns the blood to the heart via thehepatic veins.Hepatocyte cells are capable of regeneration allowing the liver to repair its own tissue.Functions: Store and metabolize lipids, transport nutrients, produce glucose andbilirubin, convert ammonia to urea, secrete electrolytes, lipids, lecithin, cholesterol andbile. Metabolizes vitamin K and produces thrombin and fibrinogen (all necessary forclotting).Obstructive Shock - ANSResults from hypo perfusion of the tissue due to an obstructionin either the vasculature or heart.Tension pneumothorax - increased thoracic pressure leads to displacement of the venacava, obstruction to atrial filling, decreased preload and decreased cardiac output.Cardiac tamponade - impedes diastolic expansion and filling leads to decreasedpreload, strokes volume and cardiac output and ultimately end organ perfusion.P (AVPU) - ANSPainful. Responds only to painful stimuli.(Airway adjunct may be needed while determining need for intubation)Reevaluation - ANSPortable radiograph - AP chest, pelvis.
