20 Shock Flashcards

1
Q

Shock

pathogenesis

A
  • imbalance bw O2 supply + O2 requirement at the cellular level
  • shock represents a diverse group of life-threatening conditions
  • common factor among all types of shock HYPOPERFUSION + impaired cellular O2 utilization

Q

Types of Distributive Shock

A
  • characterized by excessive vasodilation + peripheral pooling of blood
  • –CO inadequate due to reduced preload

Q

Anaphylactic SHock

A
  • Type I Hypersensitivity

Q

Shock

complications

A
  • shock states results in reduced/inadequate cellular oxygen consumption
  • -may affect all organs + systems of body
  • complications are INFLAMMATORY
  • inflammation triggered by hypoxic injury to cells, by antigen or endotoxin

Q

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS]

A
  • commonly assoc w Septic Shock
  • dvlpt of refractory hypoxia, decr pulmonary compliance, + radiographic evidence of pulmonary edema
  • neutrophils release proteolytic enzymes, produce oxygen-free radicals, + secrete inflammatory chem that makes pulmonary capillaries leaky

16
Q

primary cause of death in ARDS

A

multiple organ failure

-NOT severe hypoxemia

17
Q

exudate

A

a mass of cells and fluid that has seeped out of blood vessels or an organ, especially in inflammation

18
Q

Neutrophils role in ARDS

A

1 release proteolytic enzymes,
2 produce oxygen-free radicals,
3 secrete inflammatory chem that makes pulmonary capillaries leaky

19
Q

Neutrophils effects in ARDS

A

1 exudate leaks into interstitial spaced + alveoli of lung
—interfered w pulmonary gas xchange
2 inflammation may also damage type II pneumocytes which normally produce surfactants

20
Q

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation [DIC]

A
  • usually in septic shock
  • immune activation of clotting cascade
  • microcirculation obstruction leads to ischemic tissue damage
  • widespread clot formation (consumes platelets + clotting factors)
21
Q

DIC clinical manifestations

A

low platelet + fibrinogen levels

high D-dimer

22
Q

Acute Renal Failure

A

-kidneys undergo long periods of hypoperfusion
-vasoconstriction causes decr flomerular BF
»reduced hydrostatic P + filtration rt
-Acute Tubular Necrosis
-may need dialysis

23
Q

Acute Tubular Necrosis [ATN]

A

assoc w decreased urinary excretion of waste products (creatinine + urea)
-assoc w acute renal failure

24
Q

Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome [MODS]

A

-when 2 or more systems are affected
-initiated by overactive + destructive immune mechanisms
-cytokines affect endothelium, recruit neutrophils, + activate inflammation in vascular beds
»» leads to tissue destruction + organ dysfunction

25
Q

most common cause of secondary MODS

A

sepsis + septic shock

26
Q

Stenosis

A

failure of the valve to open completely in result of extra pressure work for the heart

27
Q

Regugitation

A

insufficiency

  • inability of a valve to completely close
  • results in extra volume work for the heart
28
Q

Mitral Valve Stenosis

A

chronic pulmonary HTN

  • RIGHT VENTRICLE HTN
  • right sided HTN
29
Q

Shock - Clinical Manifestations

Heart, Circulatory, + Lungs

A

INCR: heart rt, resp rt,

DECR: pulse pressure, hypotension (SBP<90), capillary refill, constrict of slanchnic vessel

30
Q

Shock - Clinical Manifestations

hormonal + kidney

A

RELEASE: ADH (brain),
Aldosterone + Cortisol (kidney)

decr urine output, incr specific gravity

31
Q

Shock - Clinical Manifestations

s/s

A

cool clammy bluish/gray color

thirst, restlessness, dilated pupils
