SPECIFIC OUTCOME: By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
Define Shock:
Understand and explain the physiological definition of shock.
Differentiate between psychologic and physiologic shock.
Identify Types of Physiologic Shock:
Classify and describe the four major types of physiologic shock (obstructive, cardiogenic,
distributive, hypovolemic).
Provide examples of conditions or events leading to each type of shock.
Explain the Mechanisms of Shock:
Describe how each type of shock disrupts the normal circulation of blood.
Understand the consequences of inadequate perfusion on vital organs.
LEARNING RESOURCES:
SPECIFIC OUTCOME: By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
Define shock as a medical emergency and articulate its implications on the circulatory system.
Differentiate between obstructive shock and cardiogenic shock, recognizing their shared
characteristic of impaired blood flow with distinct underlying causes.
Explain obstructive shock, outlining the conditions that may lead to its occurrence (pulmonary
embolism, pneumothorax, hemothorax, cardiac tamponade).
Discuss cardiogenic shock, describing its essence as a result of heart-related issues, and identify
common causes (heart muscle damage, irregular heart rhythm, very slow heart rhythm).
Correlate the causes of obstructive and cardiogenic shock with real-life clinical scenarios,
enhancing the ability to recognize these conditions in patient presentations.
Identify and interpret signs and symptoms associated with obstructive and cardiogenic shock,
enabling early recognition in clinical settings.
Emphasize the critical importance of timely intervention in cases of shock, elucidating its impact
on patient outcomes and the responsibilities of healthcare providers.
Summarize key concepts related to obstructive and cardiogenic shock, highlighting the
distinguishing features between the two types.
Communicate effectively about obstructive and cardiogenic shock, articulating complex medical
concepts in a clear and concise manner.
Apply critical thinking skills to analyze and solve hypothetical scenarios related to obstructive
and cardiogenic shock in a clinical context.

SPECIFIC OUTCOME:
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to define distributive shock and explain the
role of blood vessel dilation in its pathophysiology.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to identify and differentiate between
various types of distributive shock, including anaphylactic shock, septic shock, and neurogenic
shock.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to recognize and describe symptoms
associated with distributive shock, such as flushing, low blood pressure, and loss of
consciousness.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to explain the triggers for anaphylactic
shock and describe the immune response leading to this form of distributive shock.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to discuss sepsis as a precursor to septic
shock, explaining the role of bacterial infections and toxins in its development.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to describe neurogenic shock, including its
causes (especially spinal cord injuries) and characteristic features.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to identify and discuss additional causes of
distributive shock, such as drug toxicities and brain injuries.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to define hypovolemic shock and explain the
concept of insufficient blood volume leading to compromised organ perfusion.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to identify and describe various causes of
hypovolemic shock, including trauma, bleeding, and severe dehydration.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to recognize and articulate symptoms
associated with hypovolemic shock, such as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and
compromised organ function.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to explain how traumatic injuries, major
accidents, or surgeries can lead to significant blood loss and hypovolemic shock.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to explore internal and external bleeding as
causes of hypovolemic shock, understanding how they contribute to decreased blood volume.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to discuss severe dehydration as a cause of
hypovolemic shock and explain its impact on blood volume and tissue perfusion.
By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to stress the importance of early recognition
and intervention in hypovolemic shock for optimal patient outcomes.
LEARNING RESOURCES:
SPECIFIC OUTCOME: By the end of the lesson, the learner should be able to:
Recognize External Symptoms of Shock:
Identify common external symptoms of shock that are often recognized by first responders and
doctors.
Understand Diagnostic Priorities:
Explain the priority in providing lifesaving treatment for shock, focusing on the swift circulation
of blood through the body.
List the key diagnostic indicators checked during the initial assessment, including low blood
pressure, weak pulse, and rapid heartbeat.
Comprehend Lifesaving Treatments:
Outline the immediate lifesaving treatments for shock, such as administering fluid, drugs, blood
products, and supportive care.
Emphasize that the resolution of shock is contingent on identifying and treating the underlying
cause.
Appreciate Diagnostic Tools:
Understand that once stability is achieved, doctors use diagnostic tools, including imaging tests
(ultrasound, X-ray, CT scan, MRI scan) and blood tests, to identify the cause of shock.
Differentiate Imaging Tests:
Differentiate the purposes of imaging tests in checking for injuries, damage, fractures, organ
ruptures, muscle or tendon tears, and abnormal growths.
Understand the Role of Blood Tests:
Explain the role of blood tests in detecting signs of significant blood loss, blood infections, and
drug or medication overdoses.
Comprehend Shock Treatment Protocols:
Understand the varied treatment approaches for different types of shock, such as using
epinephrine and other drugs for anaphylactic shock, blood transfusions for hypovolemic shock,
and medications, heart surgery, or interventions for cardiogenic shock.
Recognize First Aid Procedures:
Recognize the importance of immediate action and first aid treatment when someone is
suspected to be in shock.
Understand the steps involved in providing first aid, including checking for breathing and
heartbeat, performing CPR if necessary, and positioning the person in the shock position.
Demonstrate Proper First Aid Techniques:
Demonstrate proper first aid techniques, such as elevating the feet, covering the person to
maintain warmth, and applying first aid to visible wounds.
Identify Emergency Procedures:
Identify the appropriate emergency procedures when encountering a person in shock, including
calling 911, recognizing the need for CPR, and ensuring safety in the case of potential head,
neck, or back injuries.
