Compensatory mechanisms
Compensatory mechanisms
Sympathetic reflex activation initiated by the
baroreceptors and the low pressure vascular
When blood volume decreases,
stretch receptors. peripheral chemoreceptors
compensatory mechanisms are activated
to restore adequate circulation: CNS ischemic response.
Reverse stress-relaxation of the circulatory
system.
In compensated shock these mechanisms
are efficient to restore circulation back to Formation of vasopresin. ADH
normal Compensatory mechanisms to return blood
volume to normal (increase water
reabsorbtion for example).

A significant healthcare challenge
4. Anaphylactic shock
Anaphylaxis is an allergic condition in which the cardiac
output and arterial pressure fall drastically.
Antigen-antibody reaction causes basophils and mast cells
to release histamine.
Histamine causes increase in vascular capacity because
of vasodilation. histamine increases the permeability of the capillaries
Dilation of arterioles and thus decrease in arterial
pressure.
Increase capillary permeability with rapid loss of fluid and
protein into the tissue space (edema).
