General definition of shock

A

widespread abnormal cellular metabolism that happens when there’s not enough O2 and perfusion

Q

Obstructive Shock

A

This has to do with the heart not pumping effectively but its not directly because of the muscle. Instead this one is due to something blocking the heart, like tamponade

Q

In the refractory stage you have n___, M___, and d____

A

necrosis, MODS, death

33
Q

What is the overall appearance of the person in the initial stage

A

they look pretty normal because the body is still able to compensate

34
Q

How might the patient feel during the non progressive stage

A

thirsty and anxious

35
Q

What is the POX during the non progressive stage

A

2 or 5 % lower than normal

36
Q

How might the patient look during the progressive stage

A

cyanotic or pale

37
Q

How does the patient’s skin feel during the progressive stage

A

cool and moist

38
Q

What is the POX during the progressive stage

A

5 or 20% lower than normal

39
Q

If your findings support that the patient is in the progressive stage…

A

note that it’s an emergency situation

40
Q

The refractory stage is i_____

A

irreversible

41
Q

How will they look in the refractory stage

A

Rapidly losing consciousness

42
Q

Name 3 things that you’ll find when you assess a patient in the refractory stage (besides LOC)

A

The POX is blank
You can’t feel the pulse
Breathing slows

43
Q

MODS

A

cell damage caused by all the toxic metabolites and enzymes

It causes micro clots (which decreases perfusion even more)

44
Q

____ is more likely to be the cause of shock in younger adults than in older adults

A

trauma

45
Q

How should the vital signs be measured for a shock patient

A

they should be measured by an RN

46
Q

POX of 70%

A

This is the refractory stage

47
Q

Musculo-skeletal assessment

A

weakness and messed up reflexes

48
Q

H and H levels

A

they depend on the cause (dehydration will increase levels, hemorrhage will decrease)

49
Q

After you make sure they have a clear airway, what is the next thing you do for a patient with shock

A

make sure they have an IV

50
Q

How do you position a patient with shock

A

Elevate the legs to promote venous return

The HOB should be flat or at most 30 degrees (also for perfusion)

51
Q

___ and ___ are the kinds of fluids used for fluid resuscitation during shock

A

Crystalloids and colloids

52
Q

The crystalloids you’ll use are ___ or ___

A

NS or Ringers lactate

53
Q

Crystalloid fluids are used for ___ ___

A

electrolyte imbalance

54
Q

The good thing about NS is that it can be infused with

A

any blood product

55
Q

The good thing about ringers lactate is

A

it buffers acidosis

56
Q

Ringers lactate is bad for

A

transfusions because it causes clotting

57
Q

If the patient lost a ton of blood and they’re not responding to fluids/blood products, you’ll probably need

A

drug therapy

58
Q

Drug therapy is going to be drugs that help with things like

A

contractility and dilation of heart vessels to increase perfusion

59
Q

The kind of blood product you use might depend on what the patient needs: explain

A

if they lost a lot of fluid, you could give whole blood, but if they already have enough fluid you could just give packed RBCs

60
Q

With drug therapy, where do you want to dilate and where should you constrict

A

dilate heart vessels, constrict other areas to promote venous return

61
Q

An example of a drug used to increase perfusion to the heart by dilating blood vessels

A

Nitropress

62
Q

An example of a drug used to cause systemic constriction (to increase venous return)

A

DA

63
Q

2 drugs used to increase contractility

A

milrinone and Dobu

64
Q

Septic shock is a type of ___ shock

A

distributive

65
Q

Septic shock: by the time it gets serious, the main thing causing damage is

A

the body’s own inflammatory response

66
Q

Septic shock: a complication that worsens perfusion

A

micro clots

67
Q

Septic shock: if you suspect Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

A

report to RRT

68
Q

In Sever Sepsis, the body gets so stressed that the pt becomes h____

A

hyperglycemic

69
Q

During Severe Sepsis, BP

A

could be elevated (unlikely all the other kinds of shock)

70
Q

During Severe Sepsis, the skin is

A

warm and normal colored (because during Severe Sepsis the BP increased)

71
Q

During Severe Sepsis, labs

A

WBC might not be elevated (which would’ve been expected for infection) because the body used them up already

72
Q

3 positive signs of Severe Sepsis

A

decreased POX
decreased Urine
AMS

73
Q

Septic Shock (which happens after Severe Sepsis) involves Multiple Organ Failure and

A

Bleeding

74
Q

During early sepsis and also in Septic Shock, the BP

A

is decreased

75
Q

Shock intervention: after ensuring an IV access

A

give O2

76
Q

Sepsis abx tx implications (2 things)

A

Take a blood sample BEFORE you give the abx

Give a broad spectrum abx within an hour of dx

77
Q

Sepsis: if the have hypotension or high serum lactate. give ___ or ___

A

crystalloids or colloids

78
Q

Sepsis: if the have hypotension or high serum lactate. give crystalloids or colloids. If that doesn’t work give

A

vasopressors

79
Q

Sepsis: give ___ to prevent clotting

A

heparin
