Cardiogenic shock Flashcards
What can lead to cardiogenic shock
►Myocardial infarction ►Dysrhythmias ►End-stage congestive heart failure ►Cardiomyopathy ►Myocarditis / Endocarditis ►Valvular diseases / structural disorders
What happens to Filling pressures and BP in cardiogenic shock
Persistent hypotension (systolic blood pressure <80 to 90
mmHg or mean arterial pressure 30 mmHg lower than
baseline)
• Severe reduction in the Cardiac Output (Cardiac Index
<1.8 L/min without support or <2 to 2.2 L/min with
support)
• Adequate or elevated filling pressures
How is oxygen delivery affected in cardiac shock
Oxygen delivery (DO2) is affected by changes in any of its 3 components (Hb, Oxygenation, and CO) and by changes in VO2 (O2 consumption).
What happens in acute anemia/acute hypoxia
In the case of acute anemia or acute hypoxia, the CO increases to maintain normal DO2
Is there compensatory mechanism for acute reduction in CO
there is no compensatory mechanism for acute
reduction in CO.
What happens if there is a drop in CO
Acute reduction in DO2 due to a drop in CO (from AMI) when VO2 is unchanged is ‘‘compensated’’ by greater oxygen extraction (ER), resulting in a drop in mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2)
Hemodynamics in cardiogentic shock
CO/EF
CVP/PAOP
SVO2
• CO/EF decreased • Preload (CVP, PAOP) increased • SvO2 decreased hypotension
What happens with the SNS in cardiogenic shock
SNS stimulation= tachycardia
RASS Stimulation in cardiogenic shock
•Increased SVR
• Further difficulty with
ventricular ejection
