Exam #2: Hemodynamics V Flashcards
What is the definition of shock?
Inadequate perfusion i.e. inability of the circulatory system to adequately supply tissues with nutrients and remove toxic waste
Outline the sequela of shock.
Reduced cardiac output or reduced effective circulating volume leads to:
1) Hypotension
2) Impaired tissue perfusion
3) Hypoxia
List the different classifications of shock. What is the mnemonic to remember the etiological classifications of shock?
SSHHOCCKE
S= septic S= spinal/neurogenic H= hypovolemic H= hemorrhagic O= Obstructive C= Cardiogenic C= Cellular toxins K= AnaphylaKtic E= Endocrine/ adrenal crisis
Draw the mechanisms of shock.
N/A
What is the common endpoint of shock?
Cellular injury
What are the five unifying features of shock?
1) Intracellular Ca++ overload
2) Intracellular H+ ion
3) Cellular & intersitial edema
4) Catabolic metabolism
5) Inflammation
What is the manifestation of irreversible shock?
Multisystem organ failure, esp. kidney, liver, brain
What are Rosen’s Emperic criteria for the diagnosis of shock?
1) Ill appearance or decreased LOC
2) HR greater than 100
3) RR greater than 22 & decreased PCO2 less than 32 (Normal 35-45) i.e. respiratory alkalosis
4) Lactic acid above 4 or base deficit anuria)
6) Hypotension greater than 20 min. duration
What is base deficit?
Amount of base required to neutralize the pH (normal is -2)
What are the three stages of shock?
1) Nonprogressive stage
2) Progressive stage
3) Irreversible stage
What is the nonprogressive stage of shock?
Blood pressure & cardiac output are maintained via:
1) Baroreceptor reflex
2) Catecholamine release
3) Activation of RAA
4) ADH release
5) General sympathetic stimulation
What is the progressive stage of shock?
1) Widespread tissue hypoxia in the microcirculation
2) Lactic acidosis
3) Confusion and decreased urinary output
What is the irreversible stage of shock?
1) Widespread cell injury
2) Subsequent decrease in urine output and severe fluid/electrolye disorders occur
What is the mortality of shock dependent on?
Physiologic health?
Etiology of shock
Duration of shock
What are the morphologic features of shock in the brain?
Ischemic encephalopathy
What are the morphologic features of shock in the heart?
Coagulation necrosis
Subendocardial
What are the morphologic features of shock in the kidneys?
Acute tubular necrosis
What are the morphologic features of shock in the lungs?
Diffuse alveolar damage
