Q

What is the vascular response to trauma

A

Incr capillary permeability -> WBCs move to interstitium -> fluid moves from EVS to IVS -> incr central venous volume to maintain normal CO

Q

Confounders in the CV response to bleeding

A

Age
Medications

18
Q

3 main reflexes to haemorrhage

A

Arterial baroreceptor reflex
Cardiac vagal C fibre reflex
Arterial chemoreceptor reflex

19
Q

Arterial baroreceptor reflex

A

Haemorrhage -> stretch receptors in wall of aortic arch and carotid sinus detect less stretch -> decr vagal tone and incr sympathetic activity -> sympathetic peripheral vasoconstriction

20
Q

Where are the arterial baroreceptors

A

Aortic arch
Carotid sins

21
Q

Effect of activating arterial baroreceptor reflex during haemorrhage

A

Sympathies peripheral vasoconstriction

22
Q

Cardiac vagal C fibres reflex in haemorrhage

A

Cardiac vagal C fibres in left ventricle myocardium activated by circulating components and reduced preload -> decr SVR -> vagal bradycardia and hypotension

23
Q

Where are cardiac vagal C fibres

A

Left ventricle myocardium

24
Q

Effect of cardiac vagal C fibre activation in haemorrhage

A

Vagal bradycardia
Hypotension

25
Q

Arterial chemoreceptor reflex

A

Incr CO2 or decr O2 -> chemoreceptors in carotids and aortic bodies activated -> incr resp rate

26
Q

Arterial chemoreceptor reflex in haemorrhage

A

Decr bloodflow mimics incr CO2/decr O2 -> chemoreceptors activated -> incr resp rate

27
Q

How can the arterial chemoreceptor reflex effect cardiac C fibres

A

Arterial chemoreceptors activated -> incr resp rate -> cardiac C fibres inhibited

28
Q

How does sBP, HR, RR, and GCS change during bleeding

A

sBP - maintained then rapid drop
HR - tachy then Brady
RR - tachy
GCS - reduced

29
Q

How does sBP, HR, RR, and GCS change with increasing injury level

A

sBP - hypertensive
HR - tachy
RR - tachy
GCS - reduced

30
Q

3 components of lethal triad

A

Coagulopathy
Acidosis
Hypothermia

31
Q

Conditions that mimic Haemorrhage

A

Head injury
Eviscerated abdomen
Periosteum
Obstructive shock

32
Q

What causes BP RR HR and GCS changes in head injury that mimic haemorrhage

A

Massive catecholamine release

33
Q

What nerve causes a decr in HR and BP in eviscerated abdomen and periosteum

A

Vagal nerve

34
Q

Damage control resuscitation

A

Maintain haemostatic competence in a pt that is actively bleeding

35
Q

Aims of DCR

A

Early haemorrhage control
Permissive hypotension
Limit fluid infusions
Finessed targeting if Coagulopathy

36
Q

Why should fluid infusions be limited in haemorrhage

A

Avoid diluting coagulation factors

37
Q

Code red criteria

A

sBP <90
Poor response to initial fluid resuscitation
Suspected active haemorrhage

38
Q

TXA dose in massive haemorrhage

A

1g IV TXA bolus over 10 mins then 1g IV infusion over 8hrs

39
Q

What is done after bleeding is controlled in a code red

A

Repeat FBC and clotting screen
Give platelets if count <100
Give cryoprecipitate if fibrinogen <1.5g/L
Give FFP to keep PT/APTT >1.2x normal
Keep temp >36
Keep CA2+ >1.0

40
Q

Aims of damage control surgery

A

Haemorrhage control
Manage sepsis
Protect from further injury
Maintain haemostasis
Protect cells and organs
Preserve endothelium

41
Q

AIM of ICU after haemorrhage

A

Restore physiology
