Question

During an accident severe blood loss results in

1. Hypoglycemia
2. Shock
3. Anaphylaxis
4. Sepsis

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Shock

Explanation:

• The severe loss of blood during an accident can result in a hypovolemic shock
• It is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body loses about 20% or 1-5^th of the blood.
• Due to the severe blood-loss, the heart fails to pump a sufficient amount of blood to the body
• Hypovolemic shock can also lead to organ failure.

 

• Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia is a condition caused by a very low blood sugar (glucose) level.
• Sepsis: the extreme response of the body to an infection. Sepsis occurs when an infection that the body is already suffering from, triggers a chain reaction throughout your body.  Without timely treatment, sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death.
• Anaphylaxis: It is a severe form of allergic response initiated by the body against venom, food, or medication. It usually occurs by a bee sting or eating allergic foods
