29
Why can anoxic injury as the result of shock be bad?
There is increased vascular permeability and loss of intravascular fluid

Insufficient perfusion and decreased cardiac output
32
What are the goals of compensatory mechanisms during shock?
Shunts blood to the brain, heart, and kidneys Mobilize fluid from interstitial to intravascular space Activation of sympathetic nervous system Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) Release of ADH
33
What does activation of the sympathetic nervous system in the face of shock do?
Epi/norepi are released and cause tachycardia, vasoconstriction, and retention of sodium and water
34
What does the activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in the face of shock do?
Vasoconstriction and retention of Na and water
35
What does release of ADH in the face of shock do?
promotes vasoconstriction
36
What lesions are associated with shock?
Initiating causes (hemorrhage, burn, tamponade, etc.), edema and pooling of blood, and degenerative changes in tissues from anoxia
37
Where does severe organ congestion occur in states of shock?
liver, GI tract, kidneys, and adrenals
38
What systemic response is associated with shock (this is bad)?
generalized cardiovascular collapse
39

GI tract
40
What organ system is typically affected in cats with shock?
lungs
41
What organ system is typically affected in horses with shock?
Large colon
42
What main diagnostics do you want to do for a patient in shock?

43
What additional diagnostics can be done for patients in shock?
Radiographs, US, echo, ECH, BP, and pulse ox
44
What is the goal of treatment in shock patients?
To give large volumes of fluids to restore effective circulating volume and tissue perfusion
45
How do you want to treat patients with hypovolemic shock?
IV fluids
46
How do you want to treat patients with cardiogenic shock?
Furosemide - be careful with IV fluids
47
How do you want to treat patients with distributive shock?
IV fluids
48
What 'tools' are recommended for treatment of shock?
Large bore catheters, vasopressors, antimicrobials if needed, and analgesia
49
True or False: Steroids are not recommended in patients with shock.
true
50
What percentage of total body water does intracellular fluid make up? Extracellular fluid?
Intracellular - 66% | Extracellular 33%
51
What are the components of extracellular fluid?
Plasma/intravascular (25%) and Interstitial (75%)
52
Define hypovolemia based on where the water loss is.
Lack of fluid in the intravascular component
53
Define dehydration based on where the water loss is.
Lack of fluid in the interstitial compartment
54
At what percentage of water loss do clinical changes occur?
>10%
55
At what percentage of water loss is dehydration minimally detected?
5%
56
How can you address hydration status?
Skin tent, heart rate, pulse strength, limb temperature, weakness, capillary refill time, mucous membrane color, and blood pressure
57
What will you find on PE in a patient with 5% dehydration?
Tacky mucous membranes
58
What will you find on PE in a patient with 8% dehydration?
Dry mucous membranes and decreased skin turgor
59
What will you find on PE in a patient with 10% dehydration?
Retracted globes, persistent skin tent, and hypovolemia present
60
What will you find on PE in a patient with 10-12% dehydration?
Hypovolemic shock and eventual death
61
How can fluids be given for fluid therapy?
Parenteral and enteral
62
What are the forms of parenteral fluids?
Intravenous (IV), intraosseous (IO), and subcutaneous (SC)
63
What is daily fluid therapy calculated based on?
dehydration, maintenance, and ongoing losses
64
How is the fluid deficit calculated?
BW (kg) x (% dehydration/100) = fluid deficit (L)
65
Over what period of time should dehydration be corrected?
over 24-48 hours
66
What type of fluids are crystalloids?
isotonic fluids meaning their osmolarity/sodium concentration is similar to plasma
67
Why can giving crystalloids be bad (referring to absorption)?
they are made up of small solutes so in 20-30 minutes, 60-80% is out of the intravascular space
68
If you choose to give crystalloids rapidly, at what blood volume can you give for a dog?
90 ml/kg
69
If you choose to give crystalloids rapidly, at what blood volume can you give for a cat?
40-60 ml/kg
70
What is hypotensive resuscitation?
Keeping the patient dehydrated and at a MAP of 60 mmHg so that you can control hemorrhage before aggressive fluid therapy
71
What are the most common fluids we use in veterinary medicine?
LRSm Normosol R, 0.9% sodium chloride, and plasma-lyte
72
What types of fluid are colloids?
hyperoncotic - made up of large molecules
73
What about absorption is different between colloids and crystalloids?
Colloids pull fluid into the intravascular space and there is a greater increase in blood volume than infused volume
74
What colloids do we use in vet med and at what 'dose'?
Hetastarch, Vetstarch | 10-20 ml/kg
75
What do you need to follow up use of colloids with?
crystalloids because if you just use colloids you will end up dehydrating the patient
76
What is the 'dose' of colloids in cats?
5-10 ml/kg
77
What does hypertonic saline cause when you give it to a patient?
It will cause a transient osmotic shift from extravascular to intravascular compartments
78
At what 'dose' is hypertonic saline given?
5 ml/kg
79
What does hypertonic saline do in a patient when it is given?
It decreases endothelial swelling, modulates inflammation, increases cardiac contractility
80
What must you follow the administration of hypertonic saline with?
crystalloids because using them alone can lead to dehydration
81
What blood products can be given as fluid therapy?
Whole blood and fresh frozen plasma | Is administered over 1-2 hours
82
What are hemoglobin based oxygen carrying solutions, or oxyglobin, used for?
To deliver oxygen to patients - they contain hemoglobin
