Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Failure of the circulatory system to provide enough blood to the body is called ____
A
choking
B
hypoperfusion
C
cardiac arrest
D
respiratory insufficiency
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypovolemic shock is a potentially life-threatening condition. Early recognition and appropriate management are essential.[1] Hypovolemic shock is circulatory failure due to effective intravascular volume loss (fluids or blood). This effective circulatory volume loss leads to tissue hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypoperfusion is a term that describes “a reduced amount of blood flow". When ischemia develops due to low blood flow, we may describe this as “hypoperfusion". Causes for hypoperfusion include low blood pressure, heart failure or loss of blood volume. Ischemia can affect any organ of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shock is the state of insufficient blood flow to the tissues of the body as a result of problems with the circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shock, or hypoperfusion, is decreased effective circulation causing inadequate delivery of oxygen to tissues. Signs of early (compensated) shock include tachycardia, poor skin color, cool/dry skin, and delayed capillary refill. Systolic blood pressure is normal in early shock.

Detailed explanation-5: -Shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body is not getting enough blood flow. Lack of blood flow means the cells and organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. Many organs can be damaged as a result. Shock requires immediate treatment and can get worse very rapidly.
