Chapter 1: Shock Flashcards
What is shock?
Cascade of events when cells/tissues are oxygen deprived
Cascade that results from cellular oxygen deprivation
O2 deprivation- 1 inadequate tissue perfusion- 2 lack of energy supply- 3 build up of waste products- 3b failure of energy dependent functions- release of cellular enzymes- accumulation of Ca+ ROS- cell injury- cell death.
What occurs when shock leads to liver and GI dysfunction?
shock cascade + increase absorption of endotoxins and bacteria= SIRS- MODS- Death
Activation of which cascades leads to further cellular injury and microvascular thrombosis?
1 inflammatory
2 coagulation
3 complement
What 3 major factors determine systemic blood flow and therefore tissue perfusion?
1 circulating volume
2 cardiac pump function
3 vasomotor tone OR peripheral vascular resistance
What does stroke volume regulate?
Cardiac output
CO= SV x HR
what 3 factors determine stroke volume?
1 ventricular preload = amt of blood returning from body entering heart
2 myocardial contractility = muscle function (systolic cardiac)
3 after load = arterial BP heart must overcome to push through pulmonic and aortic valves into peripheral or pulmonary vasculature
Causes of decreased preload?
= affected by circulating volume or amt of blood returning to heart
1 hypovolaemia (Haemorrhage or dehydration)
2 decreased ventricular filling time (tachycardia or impaired ventricular relaxation)
3 decreased vasomotor tone + vasodilation (pooling of blood in capacitance vessels and decreased return to heart- total volume doesn’t change but effective volume decreases)
Myocardial contractility
defintion
techniques to measure
causes of abnormal function
1 rate of cross bridge cycling between actin + myosin filaments with cardiomyocytes
2 measurement= echocardiogram - measure global systolic function eg L vent ejection fraction, fractional shortening NB highly influenced by preload and after load
3 shock, sepsis, endotoxins, ischeamic/reperfusion injury
effect of hypertension on ventricular after load?
Hypertension increases vascular resist or tone- increase afterload- decrease CO2 + tissue perfusion
Effect of severe fall in vascular resistance
Formula for Cardiac Output?
pooling of blood in capacitance vessels- decrease BP- decrease preload- inadequate perfusion - shock
CO= BP/total peripheral vasculare resist
5 causes of shock
Hyperdynamic (vol deficit)
cardiogenic (pump failure)
distributive (loss of vascular tone)
hypoxia
obstructive (obstruct ventilation or CO)
3 causes of hypovolaemic shock
Profuse haemorrhage
Severe dehydration
3rd space sequestration (eg large colon volvulus)
What can worsen cariogenic shock?
TX for distributive shock
IVFT- worsens clinical signs as puts pressure on pump
IVFT- restores perfusion- incr preload- improves Co and perfusion
Causes of relative hypoxia (2)
Cause of obstructive shock and sequelae
1 incr metabolic demand- perfusion deficit
2 mitochondrial failure impairs O2 uptake
1 tension pneumothorax: decreased vascular return
2 pericardiac tamponade: inadequate ventricular filling & stroke volume
= decreased aortic BP, decreased coronary artery blood flow- myocardial ischemia- myocardial failure
How does body restore haemostasis in early shock?
Vasoconstriction of integument, viscera + kidney
ensures cerebral + cardiac blood flow maintained
Which receptors detect decreased vessel pressure in hyper dynamic stage of shock & where are they found?
What do the receptors do?
1 Baroreceptors
2 stretch receptors in :
carotid sinus
right atrium
aortic arch
They incr sympathetic tone inhibit vagal activity, stop cardiac myocytes releasing atrial natricelia peptide
sequelae of incr symp tone, decreased vagal activity and decreased ANP?
which receptors detect local hypoxia- enhance vasoconstriction
Incr HR
Incr contractility
Incr SV + CO
vasoconstriction- incr total peripheral resistance
Incr BP
Peripheral chemoreceptors- enhance vasoconstriction
CX signs of hyper dynamic shock
incr HR
incr pulse pressure
Short CRT
inc pre capillary sphincter tone- dec capillary hydrostatic pressure- fluid movement from interstitial to cap bed- inc circulating fluid vol
What happens when renal perfusion dec?
renin is secreted from juxtaglomerular cells in afferent arteriole- Angiotensin 1- angiotensin 2- inc symp tone peripheral vasc- aldosterone released from adrenal cortex- inc renal Na + H2O absorption - inc circulating vol and inc thirst
What does Vasopressin do?
Where is ACTH produced?
What stimulates its release?
Produced in posterior pituitary - vasoconstriction in renal collecting ducts- inc H2O absorption
Hypothalamus
Inc serum osmolality “stress”
Where are ACTH receptors?
Effects when ACTH receptors stimulated (4)
Adrenal medulla
1 Aldosterone release- kidneys inc Na + H2O retention
2 cortisol release- kidneys inc Na + H2O retention Liver gluconeogenesis + protein synthesis: inc nutrients in dec blood volume
3 epinephrine release- vessels - inc constrict & after load- heart
4 norepinephrine release- heart inc HR + contractility: inc SV
What happens when dec BP is detected by baroreceptors?
1 detected by medulla oblongata
2 inc sympathetic stimulation
3 norepinephrine release
4 heart- inc rate + contractility- inc stroke volume- inc intravascular volume & CO
What % blood loss can compensatory mech’s become overwhelmed- uncompensated shock (ischaemia to brain + myocardium)
What are the clinical signs (10)
15%
1 normal BP, may dec
2 Inc HR
3 Inc RR
4 Prolonged CRT
5 cool extremities
6 agitated to lethargic
7 Sweating from inc symp activity
8 dec urine output
9 low CVP
10 inc O2 extraction ratio
11 dec venous pressure O2
12 arterial pH normal to acidotic
what happens when O2 delivery to cells is dec?
Which substrates do damaged cells release?
= loss of energy dependent functions
1 enzyme activity
2 membrane pumps
3 mitochondrial activity
- cellular swelling
- intracellular Ca release
1 cytotoxic lipids
2 enzymes
3 ROS
Which cascades are activated by endothelial cell damage?
mechanism?
- coagulation
- complement
- via exposure of sub epithelial tissue factor
what is the impact of coagulation cascade?
what leads to vascular smooth muscle failure and what is consequence?
lead to micro thrombus formation and coagulopathy - dec blood flow to local tissues
1 lack of energy
2 toxic metabolites
3 micro thrombi formation
4 inflammatory injury
organ level consequences of MODS:
GIT
Renal
cardiac
loss of mucosal barrier integrity- endotoxin absorption; bacterial translocation
renal tubular necrosis, inability to absorb solute sand H2O, can’t excrete waste
1 dec BP + venous return- dec coronary blood flow
2 cardiac muscle ischeamia- dec contractility + cardiac output- further dec coronary artery blood flow
3 metabolic acidosis + ischeamia- further dec cardiac muscle function- worsens hypotension & tissue perfusion
