Care of Patient With Shock (exam 1) Flashcards
What is the #1 nursing diagnosis for shock?
ineffective tissue perfusion
Shock is widespread ____ cellular metabolism.
abnormal
During shock ___ and ___ needs are not met.
oxygenation and tissue perfusion
Shock is also called…
Whole body response syndrome
Any problem impairing ____ delivery to ____ and ___ can start shock, leading to life threatening emergency
oxygen; tissues and organs
Stages of shock include:
initial. nonprogressive, progressive, refractory
initial stage is…
- (early shock)
2. baseline MAP decreased by
Nonprogressive stage is….
- (compensatory stage)
- MAP decreases by 10 to 15 mm Hg
- kidney and hormonal adaptive mechanisms activated (decreased UOP to compensate for fluid loss)
- tissue hypoxia in nonvital organs (skin, GI tract)
- acidosis and hyperkalemia.
* **Stopping conditions that started shock and supportive interventions can prevent shock from progressing
Progressive stage is….
- (intermediate stage)
- sustained decreased in MAP of >20mm Hg
- vital organs develop hypoxia
- life threatening emergency
* ***Conditions causing shock must be corrected with 1 hour of progressive stage onset. Afterwards body will not respond to treatment
Refractory stage is….
- (irreversible stage)
- too little oxygen reaches tissues, cell death and tissue damage result
- body cannot respond effectively to interventions; shock continues
* ***Rapid LOC, nonpalpable pulse, cold, dusky extremities; slow, shallow respirations; unmeasureable oxygen sat.
What are the types of shock?
- hypovolemic
- cardiogenic
- distributive
- obstructive
Hypovolemic shock is…
total body fluid decreased (blood loss from poor clotting with hemorrhage, dehydration)
Cardiogenic shock is…
direct pump failure, failure of blood to move forward(MI, cardiac arrest, Ventricular dysrhthmias, cardiomyopathies)
Distributive shock is…
(burn shock), fluid shift from central vascular space, maldistribution of blood volume, not where its suppose to be ( neural induced-pain, stress, head trauma, chemical induced- anaphylaxis, sepsis, burns, liver impairment)
Obstructive shock is…
(physical), cardiac function decreased by non-cardiac factor, indirect pump failure (PE, cardiac tamponade, thoracic tumors, pulmonary HTN, arterial stenosis, tension pneumothorax)
What physical assessments/ clinical manifestations should be done on these patients?
- cardiovascular
- pulse
- BP
- O2 sat.
- skin
- respiratory
- renal and urinary
- CNS
- muscloskeletal
What assessment should be done for these patents?
- psychosocial (sense of doom, anxiety)
- labs (CBC, lactic acid, ABGs, electrolytes)
- hemodynamics (BP, MAP, CO or CI, SVR, CVP, SV, SVV, PA pressures, ScVO2)
What are some nonsurgical management things that should be done for these patients?
- maintain tissue oxygenation, increase vascular volume to normal range, support compensatory mechanisms
- oxygen therapy
- IV therapy (IV access) with NS or RL
- Drug therapy (if fluids are not effective)
THE GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN PERFUSION
What kind of drugs therapy is given?
- vasopressors
- agents enhancing contractility
- agents that vasodilate
What vasopressors are given?
- dopamine
- epinephrine
- norephinephrine
- phenyleprine
- vasopressin
What agents are given that enhances contractility?
- milrinone
2. dobutamine
What agents are given to dilate?
- sodium nitroprusside
2. nitroglycerine
During hypovolemic shock, low circulating blood volume causes MAP to ____resulting in inadequate total body ____
decrease, oxygenation
Hypovolemic shock is commonly caused by ____ or____
hemorrhage (external or internal) or dehydration
Symptoms of hypovolemic shock…
increased HR
decreased BP (vasoconstriction constriction)
narrowed pulse pressure (systolic BP decreased)
postural hypotension
flat neck and hand veins independent position
slow capillary refill
diminished peripheral pulses
pale, cool, moist skin (vasoconstriction)
decreased CO/CI
Low CVP
decreased PAWP
increased SVR
increased RR (respiratory alkalosis, decreased PCO2 and PAO2,)
shallow depth of RR
During cardiogenic shock the actual heart muscle is ____, pumping is ___ impaired.
unhealthy, directly
