E1. Shock Flashcards
Define shock
Decreased cellular energy production
List the types of shock.
Hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive, hypoxemic, metabolic,
A life-threatening decrease in circulating blood volume is \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ A. Hypovolemic shock B. Distributive shock C. Cardiogenic shock D. Hyperemic shock E. metabolic shock
A. Hypovolemic shock
\_\_\_\_\_\_ results mainly from failure of adequate forward blood flow (diastolic, systolic, obstructive) A. Hypovolemic shock B. Distributive shock C. Cardiogenic shock D. Hyperemic shock E. metabolic shock
B. Distributive shock
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ is a condition in which systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is abnormal causing maldistribution of blood flow ( vasodilatory shock, septic shock, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), anaphylaxis, heat stroke, neurogenic shock) A. Hypovolemic shock B. Distributive shock C. Cardiogenic shock D. Hyperemic shock E. metabolic shock
C. Cardiogenic shock
\_\_\_\_ is caused by decreased blood and oxygen content (anemia,methemoglobinemia, carbon monoxide poisoning, hypoventilation, pulmonary parenchymal disease). A. Hypovolemic shock B. Distributive shock C. Cardiogenic shock D. Hyperemic shock E. metabolic shock
D. Hyperemic shock
______ is caused by deranged cellular metabolism that leads to decreased cellular energy production(
cyanide and bromethalin poisoning, severe hypoglycemia, relative adrenal insufficiency, severe pH changes, cytopathic hypoxia)
A. Hypovolemic shock
B. Distributive shock
C. Cardiogenic shock
D. Hyperemic shock
E. metabolic shock
E. metabolic shock
A dog has been hit by a car and is bleeding badly, what type of shock Will the dog go into? A. Hypovolemic shock B. Distributive shock C. Cardiogenic shock D. Hyperemic shock E. metabolic shock
A. Hypovolemic shock
What might be seen in early shock (compensated shock)? (5)
- Tachycardia
- Normal or mild decreased mentation
- Normal, pale, or hyperemic mucous membranes
- Tachypnea, strong pulse quality
- Normotension
- Early signs of shock may not be clinically obvious because of compensatory mechanisms
What might be seen in intermediate shock (early decompensated shock)? (12)
- Profound vasoconstriction
- Increase in salt and water retention (renin-angiotensin- aldosterone and ADH stimulation)
- Organ dysfunction
- Pale mucous membranes
- Prolonged capillary refill time (CRT)
- Tachycardia
- Poor pulse quality
- Hypotension
- Decreased mentation
- Weakness
- Cool extremities
- Decreased rectal temperature
What might you see in late shock (late decompensated shock or irreversible shock)? (6)
- Stupor or coma
- Pale mucous membranes
- Prolonged or absent CRT
- Bradycardia
- Hypothermia
- Poor or absent pulse quality
What are the vasopressors used to correct hypotension? Give classification then drugs. (3 classes, 3 drugs)
Nonselective alpha agonists (norepinephrine and epinephrine)
Selective alpha one agonists (Phenylephrine)
Vasopressin
What is not needed in any type of shock, but may be needed if the shock patient has an adrenal insufficiency?
Glucocorticoids
Get the 3 types of monitoring shock.
Physical examination
Laboratory
Advanced macrohemodynamic monitoring
List what’s involved in your physical examination of shock. (6)
– Heart rate (HR) – Mucous membrane color – Capillary Refill Time (CRT) – Respiratory rate (RR) – Temperature – Mentation
