Q

septic shock treatment considerations

A
  • Fluids (crystalloids; albumin if needed)- Vasopressors (NE, epi, vasopressin) -Inotropes if cardiac dysfxn (Dobutamine, esp. w/ HF)- Corticosteroids (only if unable to meet hemodynamic goal)- Blood product administration (Goal Hgb 7-9g/dL)- Sedation if intubated (Propofol, not benzos: ICU delirium risk)- BG monitoring q2h/insulin use (goal BG 110-180 mg/dL)- Renal replacement therapy in ARF- Early but slow enteral feeding (GI perf/peritonitis – be cautious) - DVT/GI prophylaxis (Lovenox, heparin, PPI/H2 antagonist)

40
Q

ARDS: first major change

A

Inability to oxygenateFurther destruction of alveoli- shunting (blood passing by non-vent alveoli & bypassing ventilated)refractory to O2 increase: junk in alveoli = UP THE PEEP

41

exudative - first 72 hours- angry neuts increase lung injury & cap permeability– increased alveolar edema– macrophages + mediators = pulmonary bed vasoconstriction = V/Q mismatch (blood bypass ventilated alveoli) = pulm htnclinical s/s: may only see tachypnea & dyspnea• Coarse crackles• Cyanosis• Tachycardia• Lungs less compliant• Dec ventilation of alveoli• Hypercapnia

44
Q

proliferative - 4 to 21 days- resolution of pulmonary edema- type II pneumocytes hyperplasia- proliferation fibroblasts- hemorrhagic exudate → granulation tissue (hyaline membrane)s/s: PROGRESSIVE HYPOXEMIA

45
Q

ARDS: third phasedefinition + s/s

A

remodeling & fibrosis - 14 to 21 days- alveoli + bronchioles obliterated- decreased FRC- more V/Q mismatch/shuntingclinical s/sinitial: restlessness, respiratory alkalosis s/t hyperventilation (↑ pH, ↓ paCO2, HCO2 normal) + non-specific complaintsrapid progression to: respiratory distress, non-compliant lungs (more P to get same TV), crackles everywhere, elevated pulmonary airway pressure (PIIP), REFRACTORY HYPOXEMIAP/F lt 200

60
Q

A

a) Maldistribution of vol → vasodilated + third spacing b) Imbalance O2 supply/ demand (abnormal DO2 and VO2)c) Hypermetabolicif A + C can’t be fixed MODS OCCURSthe problem: inflammatory/immune response is over-activated, the body can’t clear the mediators and toxic metabolites fast enough and a self-perpetuating cycle exists

61
Q

when does MODS occur?

A

after SIRS when vasodilation, third spacing, and hypermetabolic state can’t be fixed

62
Q

MODS: hyperdynamic CV response

A

INITIAL RESPONSE↑ CO, HR, DO2, VO2↓ PAWP, CVP, SVR

63
Q

MODS: hypodynamic CV response

A

many mediators = myocardial depressants; their continued influence = ↓ myocardial contractility/function ↓ CO, DO2, VO2↑ CVPTachycardia, dysrhythmias, weak pulses

64
Q

why does MODS hypodynamic CV response happen?

A

many mediators = myocardial depressants; their continued influence = ↓ myocardial contractility/function

Bell: low pitched sounds mitral stenosis, diastolic murmurs, S3, S4

71
Q

S3

A

indicates difficulty w/ passive filling LA to LV (mitral valve is open & blood is flowing in) VENTRICULAR gallop – “Kentucky”PASSIVE FILLING into noncompliant LVearly diastolic, bell, mitral area Left lateral position may increase the soundAssociate with HF (chronic or AMI)

72
Q

S4

A

“atrial kick” - difficulty with active filling, LA actively contracting (typically, compensate↑ CO by ~25% but if bad contraction—heart will lose atrial kick = s4) 
- ventricle can no longer take any more ATRIAL gallop – “Tennessee”Blood entering noncompliant ventricle during ATRIAL CONTRACTIONlate diastolic, bell, mitral areaLeft lateral position may increase the soundAssociated with CHF, MI, AoS, HTN, and CAD A-fib will NOT have an S4 (no atrial kick)

73
Q

you will not hear this heart sound with afib
