Exam 3, Shock Flashcards
what is body position for shock
keep warm and comfortalbe
turn victim head on one side if neck injury not suspected.
put on back with legs raised
what is general definition of shock
arterial blood flow is inadequate to meet needs for O2
Tissue perfusion depends on what
CO and SVR
What are types of shock
hypovolemic
cardiogenic
distributive
what is hypovolemic shock caused by
hemorrhage
fluid loss
poor intake
how are CO and SVR affected in hypovolemic shock
decreased CO and increased SVR
What are causes of cardiogenic shock
cardiomyopathies, arrhythmias
mechanical
extracardiac/obstruction
how are CO and SVR affected in cardiogenic shock
decreased CO and increased SVR
how is pulmonary capillary wedge pressure affected in hypovolemic and cardiogenic shock
increased
what can cause distributive shock
sepsis, TSS, anaphylaxis, toxin reactions, spinal cord injury, myxedema or adrenal crisis
how come individuals with distributive shock have a normal or high central venous O2 sat level
resdistribution of flow to skin
how is CO and SVR and PCWP affected in distributive shock
increased CO
decreased SVR
decreased PCWP
what are markers of clinical shock
SBP 1.0 mmol/L
alcoholic patient with cirrhosis and ascites presents with vomiting, dry mucous membranes, clammy skin, oliguria, mental status change, BP 70/50
what type of shock?
hypovolemic
how is CVP levels in hypovolemic shock
decreased
What is Tx for hypovolemic shock
fluid replacement
0.9% saline, 1-2 L wide open
PRBCs
goal is to obtain CVP 8-12 mmHg
diabetic patient with dyspnea and BP 65/50
Hx + for MI
patient on loop diuretic, aldosterone antagonist, ACEI and beta blocker
HR 140
cool clammy skin
patient resltess
b/l basilar crackles and neck veins are distended
type of shock?
cardiogenic
describe CO, PWCP, afterload levels in cardiogenic shock
low CO, increased PWCP and increased afterload
