Examples of hypoperfusion in the following topics:
-
- Systemic hypoperfusion is the reduction of blood flow to all parts of the body.
- Hypoxemia (low blood oxygen content) may precipitate the hypoperfusion.
-
- Syncope, the medical term for fainting, is defined as a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone characterized by rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery due to global cerebral hypoperfusion that most often results from hypotension.
-
- In these cases, TNF-alpha can cause organ failure from tissue hypoperfusion from damage and blood clotting that is largely caused by an overactive immune response.
-
- Excessive activation
of the vagal nerve during emotional
stress can also cause vasovagal syncope due to a sudden drop in cardiac
output, causing cerebral
hypoperfusion.
-
- During the initial stage, the state of hypoperfusion causes hypoxia.
-
- In such cases of cardiac tamponade, EKG or Holter monitor will then depict electrical alterans indicating wobbling of the heart in the fluid filled pericardium, and the capillary refill might decrease, as well as severe vascular collapse and altered mental status due to hypoperfusion of body organs by a heart that cannot pump out blood effectively.
