49
What happens in shock when ECBV is reduced by the following: <10%, 10-20%, >20%?
<10% - no change in pressure of CO 20% - arterial pressure maintained, but CO begins to fall >20% - arterial pressure fails
50
What are 5 compensatory mechanisms of shock? How long after sepsis begins can they compensate for?
``` Baroreceptors Chemoreceptors Cerebral ischemia Reabsorption of fluids Endogenous vasoconstrictors Can compensate if problem addressed within 1-2 hours ```
51
What compensatory mechanism kicks in when MAP is <60? What happens?
Chemoreceptor Hypoexmia and acidosis stimualte chemoreceptors to carotid sinus to increase ventilation to blow of pCO2 Respiration stimulation enhaves venous return and lymph flow
52
What compensatory response happens when MAP<40? What happens in both the sympathetic and parasympathetic system?
Massive sympathetic and adrenal output cause vasoconstriction and increased myocardial contractility Increase parasympathetic to heart decreases HR
53
How does vasoconstriction and low ECBV cause reabsorption of fluids?
By decreasing hydrostatic pressure so net hydrostatic pressure < net oncotic pressure
54
What 4 endogenous vasoconstrictors are released when MAP drops significantly?
Norepi - nerve release Epi -adrenal medulla release RAAS Vasopressin - ADH (only affects constriction when ECBV drops by >10%)
55
If shock persists for more than 2 hours, what are the 6 decompensation mechanisms that can occur?
``` Cardiac failure Vascular failure Metabolic acidosis CNS depression Inappropriate clotting Inactivation of Mononuclear Phagocytic system ```
56
What is sympathetic escape? How does this cause the vascular system to fail?
Peripheral vasoconstriction fails probably due to desensitization due to depletion of alpha 1 receptors in the periphery
57
How does metabolic acidosis occur in shock? How does low renal flow play a role? What happens to cardiac function?
Poor CO and tissue perfusion lead to glycolitic metabolism and a build up of lactate Lactic acidosis ensues Low renal blood flow inhibits ability to reabsorb bicarb Acidosis further depresses cardiac output
58
How does CNS depression occur in shock?
Initial massive sympathetic outflow however MAP unable to respond Sympathetic then decreases, causing CNS depression
59
Does a person remain hypercoaguable throughout shock?
No, hypercoagulation devolves into hypocoagulation
60
What happens to the mononuclear phagocytic system during hemorrhagic hypotension? What two things does this cause?
MPS is depressed Impairs antibacterial and antitoxin defense mechanisms Endotoxins from gut (usually inactivated by MPS) increase causing vasodialtion, exacerbating shock
61
What are 7 clinical presentation signs of shock?
``` Hypotension MAP<60 Tachy Cool extremities Olguria Clouded sensorium (confusion) Elevated lactate ```
62
Should a patient in shock be assessed slowly?
No
63
What should be examined when someone presents in shock? What should be done simultaneously?

64
If a person in shock does not respond to fluids, what should be done?

``` ABG (for metabolic acidosis) CBC CMP coagulation parammeters Cardiac enzymes Lactate Blood cultures ```
66
What two goals should tried and be achieved in a shock patient? Which is more important?

DO2 = CO = HR*SV = 10(1.34*[HgB]*SaO2)
68
What is the goal of fluid resuscitation? Vasopressor therapy? Inotropic therapy?
Fluid resuscitation - increase SV Vasopressor therapy - increase perfusion and contractility Inotropic therapy - increase contractility
69
What volume expansion per liter is achieved with crystalloids? With colloids? Why are crystalloids used more?

70
What three things should be treated in early goal directed therapy of shock? What order?
CVP - crystalloid or colloid MAP - vasoactive agents ScvO2 - transfusion of RBC until hematocrit > 30
71
What are 7 vasopressors typically given? According to guidelines, what should be given 1st, 2nd, 3rd?
``` Norepi #1 Epi #2 Vasopressin #3 Dopamine Phenylephrine Dobutamine Phosphodiesterase inhibitor ```
72
What receptors does norepi affect? What does it cause?
a1, a2, B1 Increases BP w/o adverse organ effects Increases CO by increasing inotropic more than chronotropic
73
What receptors does Epi affect? Why can the gut be less perfused with this drug? What is a major AE seen?
a1, a2, B1, B2 a1 more potent than norepi Increases DO2, increasing O2 consumption Decreases SVR so gut less perfused...can see ischemia
74
What does vasopressin cause in relation to catecholamines? What risk decreases in likelihood when this is given? Is it taken off first or last?
Sensitizes system to catecholamines May improve renal blood flow Can decrease risk of a fib Taken off last
75
What must be present with shock for dopamine to now be used? What receptors does it affect? What is the major AE than causes it to not be used that often anymore?
Brady and shock DA1 & DA2 (dilation) > B1 (contractility) > a (vasoconstriction) Machy, decreased splanchnic perfusion, increase PAOP
76
When should phenylephrine be used? For what type of shock? Which type of shock should it not be used for?
a1 agonist Good choice when tachya rrythmias present Use in drug induced shock Do not use in septic shock
77
What should be used if cardiogenic shock is present with no sepsis? Why?
Dobutamine | Increases contractility and CO
78
What drug should really only be used in a cardiac transplant patient? What does it cause to increase in the cells?
Milrinone - phosphodiesterase inhibitor Increases CAMP AE: hypotension and tachy (less than dobutamine)
