Q

Hypovolaemic shock? Flow diagram

A
Loss of blood volume 
                    |
Decreased blood volume 
                    |
Decreased venous return
                    |
End diastolic volume 
                    |
Decreased Stroke volume 
                    |
Decreased CO and Decreased BP

Q

Neurogenic shock flow diagram?

A

Loss of sympathetic tone to blood vessels and heart
|
Massive venous and arterial vasodilation- affects heart rate
|
Decreased venous return & decreased SVR (TPR)
|
Decreased HR (UNLIKE other types of shock)
|
Decreased CO & decreased BP

Q

Why is neurogenic shock unique?

A

It causes a decreased HR which is unlike other types of shock. This is because there is loss of sympathetic tone to blood vessels and heart

Q

Vasogenic shock flow diagram?

A
Release of vasoactive mediators 
|
Massive venous & arterial vasodilation- also increased capillary permeability 
|
Decreased venous return & decreased SVR (TPR)
|
Decreased CO & decreased BP
|
Inadequate tissue perfusion

Q

4 general steps to treatment of shock?

A

1) ABCDE approach
2) High flow Oxygen
3) Volume replacement - EXCEPT cardiogenic
4) Call for help early

17
Q

Treatment of cardiogenic shock?

A

Inotropes

18
Q

Treatment for tension pneumothorax?

A

Immediate chest drain

19
Q

Treatment for anaphylactic shock?

A

Adrenaline

20
Q

Treatment for septic shock?

A

Vasopressers

21
Q

Causes of hypovolaemic shock?

A

Haemorrhage- trauma, surgery, GI haemorrhage

22
Q

What does haemorrhage result in?

A

Decrease in blood volume, decreased Cardiac output, circulatory shock (reduced MAP)

23
Q

haemorrhage shock response?

A

Compensatory mechanisms can maintain BP until more than 30% of blood volume is lost

24
Q

What is observed in haemorrhagic shock?

A

Tachycardia
Small volume pulse
Cool peripheries
Decreased MAP (if blood loss is more that 30%)

25
Q

Types of hypovolaemic shock?

A

Haemorrhagic and non-haemorrhagic

26
Q

Types of cardiogenic shock?

A

Acute myocardial infarction

27
Q

Types of obstructuve shock?

A

Cardiac temponade
Tension pneumothorax
Pulmonary embolism
Severe aortic stenosis

28
Q

Types of distributive shock?

A

Neurogenic- eg spinal cord injury

Vasoactive- eg septic shock, anaphylactic shock

29
Q

Caused of decreased blood volume?

A

Haemorrhage
vomiting
Diarrheoa
Excessive sweating

30
Q

Why does tachycardia occur?

A

Increased HR due to baroreceptor reflex

31
Q

What could happen when there is small volume pulse and tachycardia?

A

Cardiac output could be decreased

32
Q

What causes cool peripheries?

A

Increased systemic vascular resistance via baroreceptor reflex
