IVFT Flashcards
Perfusion parameters of vasoconstrictive shock
- Obtunded
- MM colour: pale-white
- CRT >2
- HR: tachy in dogs, either in cats
- Weak-thready pulses
- Cold extremities
Perfusion parameters of vasodilatory shock
- Obtunded
- hyperaemic mm
- <1s CRT
- HR: tachy in dogs, either in cats
- Bounding pulses
- Warm extremities
How is total body water divided between the body compartments?
1/3 ECF and 2/3 ICF
w/in ECF 1/4 IV and 3/4 Interstitial
how are osmolality and osmolarity different?
Osmolality = mOsm/kg of solution Osmolarity = mOsm/L of solution
Define hyperosmolar
osmolality greater than plasma
Define hyposmolar
osmolality less than plasma
what is an ineffective osmole?
crosses the cell membrane freely and thus does not draw water out of the ICF
How do hypotonic fluids effect water moves?
water moves out of the ECF and into the ICF
how do hypertonic fluids effect water moves?
water moves out of the ICF and into the ECF
what are the 3 arms of starling’s forces?
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Oncotic pressure
- Endothelial permeability
define hydrostatic pressure
pressure generated w/in the capillary by the fluid w/in and directly proportional to volume
define oncotic pressure
a pressure gradient generated by the presence of numerous colloid molecules that do not readily cross the capillary endothelium
abnormal fluid losses are usually…
isosmolar (w/ the same salt conc. as the plasma) thus it is only lost from the ECF compartment
water will only move from the ICF when ??? changes
osmolality
free water loss can occur if..
kidneys are not functioning (and anti-diuretic hormone not doing its job) + decreased water intake
3 types of shock
- circulatory
- hypoxic
- metabolic
types of circulatory shock
- hypovolaemic (+haemorrhagic)
- obstructive
- cardiogenic
- distributive/vasodilatory
causes of hypovolaemic shock
loss of salty water/plasma from the IV space eg. severe dehydration, rapid loss of plasma into the GIT, body cavity, interstitial space
causes of obstructive shock
when flow of blood bak into the right atrium, or from the right atrium to the left is prevented by physical obstruction
eg. pericardial effusion leading to right atrial tamponade, gastric dilation and volvulus (gas distended stomach compresses the CdVC and potentially the portal vein), severe PTE, severe heartworm infestation obstructing flow out of the right heart
causes of cardiogenic shock
disease of the myocardium itself
eg. DCM, endotoxin and cytokine release during sepsis, severe brady/tachyarrythmias
cause of vasodilatory/distributive shock
cytokines and other vasoactive mediators released w/ systemic inflam/anaphylaxis can cause endothelial dysfunction and dilation of the systemic arteries and arterioles, decreasing SVR
perfusion parameters of moderate vasoconstrictive shock
- mod-severe obtundation
- MM pale
- 2-3s CRT
- HR: increased/ poss. dec in cats
- Weak/poor pulses
- cool extremities
++ decreased BP
