Block 2 - Shock Physiology Flashcards
What is shock?
Clinical syndrome characterized by acute circulatory failure with inadequate or inappropriately distributed tissue perfusion → imbalance between oxygen supply and demand
Hypoperfusion can trigger ___ and ____ cascades
Inflammatory and clotting
What are the types of shock?
- Obstructive
- Cardiogenic
- Distributive
- Hypovolemic
- Septic (anaphylactic)
What are the common characteristics of shock?
Acute circulatory failure that causes hypotension and inadequate tissue perfusion.
What circulatory alterations that lead to shock?
- HF
- Low BV
- Redistribution of ECF to extravascular sites
- Obstruction of blood flow
What are the factors affect CO?
- Factors that decrease blood volume
- Affect cardiac filling
- Affect contractility
- Affect HR
Systemic vascular resistance is caused by ___
- Extensive increase in systemic vascular dilation
- Fluid redistribution
- Inflammatory reactions
How many ICU patients are effected by shock?
1/3
How do you diagnose shock?
- Clinical
- Hemodynamic
- Biochemical
What is the clinical diagnoses for shock?
<90/70
Tachycardia
Tissue hypoperfusion
Renal output
Altered mental state
What are the hemodynamic diagnoses for shock?
Hyperlactemia
Hypercoagulability
Shock is ultimately a ___ of fluid in circulatory system
Deficit
How does the body compensate for shock?
- Increase HR and SNS
- Vascoconstriction
- Hypotension
- Circulating volume continues to drop
What is hemodynamic?
Forces the heart has to respond to maintain blood flow through the cardiovascular system and supply oxygen to all tissues.
What are the four facotrs that influence circulation?
- BV
- Systemic vascular tone
- HR
- Force of contraction
What it MODs and what does it cause?
Multiple organ dysfunction syndromes: Hypoxia and decreased oxygen delivery → anaerobic metabolism
What it MODs and what does it cause?
Map how metabolic mods cause shock?
What is hypovolemic shock?
Rapid blood or other ECF fluid loss.
What is cardiogenic shock?
Hypoxic damage to organs that results when the heart is unable to circulate an adequate amount of blood.
What is distributive shock?
Impaired distribution of blood flow due to extensive vasodilation and loss of vascular tone.
What is obstructive shock?
Life-threatening condition caused by obstruction of blood flow to body’s organs.
What is anaphylactic shock?
- Acute, life-threatening, IgE-mediated allergic reaction.
- re-exposure in those persons sensitive to an allergen
What are the stages of shock?
- Early, reversible, or compensated shock.
- Intermediate or progressive shock.
- Refractory or irreversible shock.
What occurs in stage 1 of shock?
- Baroreceptors respond to low blood pressure → increased sympathetic stimulation → increased heart rate and constriction of blood vessels.
- Poor kidney perfusion → activation of RAAS → reabsorb sodium and water.
Strong chance of recovery with proper treatment
What occurs in stage 2 of shock?
Decrease in perfusion → leads to cellular hypoxia → confusion and disorientation
Reversible wtith prompt treatment
What occurs in stage 3 of shock?
- Decline in heart funciton
- Kidney shutdown
- Organ injury
Death due to multiple organ dysfunction
