Hemodynamics 2 (Word Doc) Flashcards
3 Most common causes of shock:
(1) decreased circulating blood volume (2) decreased cardiac output (3) sepsis
Causes of hypovolemic shock:
bleeding or fluid loss from
vomiting
diarrhea
extensive burns
Cause of cardiogenic shock:
- myocardial infarction
- arrhythmia (compromises pumping)
- pulmonary embolism (obstructing right heart -output)
- hemopericardium (obstructing filling)
What is cardiac tamponade?
Blood (hemopericardium) pressing downon the chambers of the heart, limiting filling
Why does septic shock cause hypoperfusion?
Systemic vasodilation–sends too much blood out, and too little comes back to the heart/lungs
Shock is not a number, but a _____
Syndrome
Characterized by the signs and symptoms of systemic hypoperfusion
Shock
Progressing cognitive symptoms of shock:
Agitation (earliest) –> decreasing mental status –> lethary –> coma
What is an obvious way to distinguish septic shock from cardiogenic/hypovolmic shock?
Warm verus cool/clammy skin
Patients in all form of shock have decreased:
Urine output
What are two late signs of shock? (When noticed, injury has already occurred)
Elevated heart rate (>100) and low blood pressure (<90 systolic or 40mmHg lower than usual)
T/F: A sudden, profound crash is characteristic of old people.
F: Young people crash crash suddenly and profoundly and (often) irretrievably because they can compensate longer, thus their vitals are okay
Accurate categorization of shock is important because:
treatments are different
Treatment for hemorrhagic shock:
Blood transfusion
Treatment for septic shock:
Abx
Cardiogenic shock usually results from
Pump failure
What are 3 symptoms of cardiac tamponade?
shock
distant heart sounds
jugular venous distention
What is the treatment for cardiac tamponade?
removing the blood from the pericardial sac
What two conditions are sometimes considered obstructive shock?
cardiac tamponade and pulmonary thromboembolus that blocks the pulmonary trunk
What two conditions are sometimes considered vasogenic shock?
Anaphylactic shock and septic shock
Condition in which vasodilatation increases the capacitance of the vascular system so much that the too much blood pools in the periphery and too little returns to the heart (for oxygenation and repumping)
Septic and Anaphylactic shock
Vasogenic shock associated with spinal cord injury or spinal anesthesia; causes acute loss of sympathetic nervous system maintenance of normal vasoconstriction
Neurogenic shock
Why do trauma patients experience shock that is partially hemorrhagic and partially septic?
increased production of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-1 and IL-6)
The dividing line between lethal and non-lethal hemorrhage
loss of 50% of blood volume
Percentage of blood loss causing symptoms of compensation
15-20%
Percentage of blood loss causing shock
25-30%
Percentage of blood loss causing life-threatening shock
35-45%
In a healthy person, 50% blood loss can be tolerated if:
It occurs over days-weeks (“The more slowly a hemorrhage takes place, the greater a hemorrhage a person can survive”)
T/F: A person’s general health partially determines the amount of blood loss that can be tolerated.
T
Patient-as-a-whole syndrome that occurs in response to infection
Sepsis
Definition of sepsis:
systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) due to infection, proven or highly suspected
SIRS Criteria (4):
- Fever (>38 C [100.4F]) or hypothermia (90/minute)
3. Tachypnea (RR >20/minute) or hyperventilation (arterial pCO2 12,000/cu mm) or leukopenia (WBC 10% bands)
Severe sepsis includes:
acute organ dysfunction (aka malfunction such that a person cannot maintain homeostasis without intervention)
Refractory arterial hypotension that only adequately responds to fluid replacement
septic shock
Oliguria
low urine output
If blood pressure normalizes when fluids are given, it suggests that shock is:
hypovolemic
T/F: Severe sepsis is a subset of septic shock
F: Septic shock is a subset of severe sepsis
Most people with sepsis have _____ blood cultures
Negative
T/F: Altered mental status is a sepsis/SIRS symptom
T
In sepsis/SIRS: CRP is (elevated/decreased)
Elevated (>2 standard deviations)
In sepsis/SIRS: procalcitonin is (elevated/decreased)
Elevated (>2 standard deviations)
Less than what oxygen saturation % constitutes SIRS?
<70%
In sepsis/SIRS: creatinine is (elevated/decreased)
elevated
In sepsis/SIRS: PTT is (elevated/decreased)
Elevated (>60 seconds)
In sepsis/SIRS: thromobocytopenia is (elevated/decreased)
Decreases (<100,000)
In sepsis/SIRS: bilirubin is (elevated/decreased)
Elevated (>4)
In sepsis/SIRS: Fever is defined as
> 38.3 degrees
What are two SIRS symptoms you would quickly notice after inspecting a patients arms/legs?
Mottling and “significant” edema
In sepsis/SIRS: heart rate is (elevated/decreased)
Elevated (>2 standard deviations)
Microbial cell wall and internal elements (lipoproteins and LPS, fungal wall components, nucleic acids)
pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)
What receptors bind PAMPs (3)?
Toll-like, NOD1/2, GPCR
What type of receptors react with intercellular pathogens?
NOD
What types of receptors are located on macrophages, neutrophils and endothelial cells?
Toll like reeptors
Binding of PAMPs activates inflammatory cells, which produce: (8)
TNF, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, IL-18, IFN-G, HMGB1
How do cytokines direct leukocytes to the site of infection?
Upregulation of the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules which bind leukocytes
State of systemic (total body) hypoperfusion + cardiovascular collapse
Shock
What type of cell membrane enzyme produces PAF in response to SEPSIS?
phospholipase A2
What types of cells produce PAF?
platelets, endothelial cells, neutrophils, monocytes
What does PAF do?
vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, activates/promotes platelet aggregation, promotes leukocyte migration/degranulation
How do microbes activate the fibrinolytic system?
Plasmin
What do CD4 cells secrete in response to antigen and costimulation?
IFN-Gamma
What so APC secrete to sustain the expression of costimulatory molecules?
IL12
What APC costimulation molecule binds to CD28?
CD80
Why was TGN1412 so toxic to the volunteers?
anti-CD28
What occurs in response to IL-1 and IL-8?
mast cells in the connective tissue adjacent to blood vessels to release large quantities of histamine from granules in their cytoplasm
Histamine causes…
dilation of arterioles and increased permeability of venule
