Disease/Condition Glossary

Cardiac arrest: Cardiac arrest is the abrupt loss of heart function, breathing and consciousness. The condition usually results from a problem with your heart's electrical system, which disrupts your heart's pumping action and stops blood flow to your body. Symptoms include sudden collapse, pulselessness, no breathing, and loss of consciousness.

Hypotension associated with septic shock: Dilated blood vessels may significantly decrease blood flow to certain organs or may result in a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to a state known as septic shock.

Life-threatening allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis due to foods, drugs, insect stings or bites or any other allergens. Symptoms include pain, redness, swelling (in the area of sting and sometimes beyond), flushing, hives, itching, and a potentially life-threatening reaction that may impair breathing and cause the body to go into shock.
