10: Adult Burns & Shock (Part 1) Flashcards
MODS is initiated and perpetuated by
uncontrolled systemic inflammatory and stress responses.
burns are a form of trauma with
wide-reaching effects on all organ systems.
the physiologic response of burns is dependent on
the extent of burn surface involvement and the depth of tissue destruction.
shock is a condition during which
the cardiovascular system fails to perfuse the tissues adequately; causes general and widespread impairment of cellular metabolism.
common pathways in all types of shock (3)
- Impaired cellular metabolism (d/t decreased O2 & nutrient delivery)
- Usually w/ increased O2/nutrient demand & consumption
- Decreased removal of cellular waste products
cause of cardiogenic shock
heart failure
neurogenic/vasogenic shock cause
Alterations in smooth muscle tone
Anaphylactic shock is caused by
hypersensitivity
septic shock is caused by
infection
hypovolemic shock is caused by
insufficient intravascular fluid
clinical manifestations of shock
Weak, cold, hot, nauseated, dizzy, confused, afraid, thirsty, short of breath, and generally “feeling sick”
Decreased blood pressure, cardiac output, and urinary output
Increased respiratory rate
treatment of shock
Oxygenation: Absolute necessity in all shock states
Correct or remove underlying cause
Provide supportive therapy
in shock, metabolism shifts from ____________ to ____________
shift from aerobic to anaerobic
how does shock impair cellular metabolism?
impaired O2 use, regardless of cause
shock causes accumulation of ____________ in the cell (2)
sodium and chloride
what exits the cell in shock
potassium
shock activates what pathway
coagulation
shock causes the release of ____________ enzyme
lysosomal
how is glucose use changed during shock
impaired glucose use, cells shifting to glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, lipolysis
gluconeogenesis causes…
proteins to be used for fuel, thus no longer available for maintaining cellular structure, function, repair, and replication
shock causes toxic ____________ and ____________ production
ammonia and urea
metabolic acidosis features what kind of mechanism
compensatory
what does the compensatory mechanism of metabolic acidosis do
Enables cardiac and skeletal muscles to use lactic acid as a fuel source but only for a limited time
what happens to the heart in cardiogenic shock
Inability of the heart to pump adequate blood to tissues and end organs from any cause
what causes cardiogenic shock
myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction
Cardiogenic shock causes persistent hypotension and tissue hypoperfusion caused by
cardiac dysfunction in the presence of adequate intravascular volume and left ventricular filling pressure
cardiogenic shock is a (↑/ ↓) in cardiac output
decrease
As cardiac output decreases, what compensatory adaptive responses are activated? (3)
Renin-angiotensin, neurohormonal, and sympathetic nervous system
what do the compensatory responses of cardiogenic shock cause (3)
Fluid retention, systemic vasoconstriction, and tachycardia.
catecholamines increase (2)
contractility and heart rate
cardiogenic shock activates the ____________ response
inflammatory
