________ shock is when the left ventricular function is so severely compromised that the heart can no longer meet metabolic needs.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cardiogenic shock is caused by a decrease in cardiac output due to left ventricular dysfunction, which can no longer meet the metabolic needs of the body. Pulmonary shock is caused by acute respiratory failure, systemic shock is caused by systemic vasodilation resulting in decreased peripheral resistance and blood pressure, and neurogenic shock is caused by loss of sympathetic tone leading to decreased vascular resistance and blood pressure.
