Question
- All of the following are causes of obstructive shock EXCEPT:A Congenital heart malformatonsB Cardiac tamponadeC Acute blood LossD tension pneumothorax10. Which of the following symptoms demonstrate increased work of breathing?A Use of accessory thoracic musclesB GruntingC Nasal flaringD All of the above
Solution
-
The correct answer is C. Acute blood loss. This is because obstructive shock is caused by a blockage of blood flow in the cardiovascular system. While congenital heart malformations, cardiac tamponade, and tension pneumothorax can all potentially block blood flow, acute blood loss does not. Instead, acute blood loss causes hypovolemic shock, which is a different type of shock caused by a low volume of blood, not a blockage.
-
The correct answer is D. All of the above. All of the symptoms listed - use of accessory thoracic muscles, grunting, and nasal flaring - are signs of increased work of breathing. These are all compensatory mechanisms the body uses in an attempt to increase oxygenation and ventilation when the respiratory system is under stress.

t occurs when thecirculatory system (which distributes oxygen to the body tissuesand removes waste products) fails and, as a result, vital organssuch as the heart and brain are deprived of oxygen. It requiresimmediate emergency treatment. Shock can be made worseby fear and pain. Minimise the risk of shock developing byreassuring the casualty and making him comfortable
