L15: Shock Flashcards
Def of Shock
Shock Reversibility
Classification & Etiology of Shock
Disributive Shock is characterized by severe peripheral (Vasodilatation/vasoconstriction)
severe peripheral vasodilatation (vasodilatory shock)
what is the most common cause of destributive shock?
Septic Shock
Characters of Septic Shock
Def of Septic Shock
- A dysregulated host response to infection resulting in life-threatening organ dysfunction.
Pathophysiology of Septic Shock
Causes of Neurogenic Shock
- Spinal cord injury.
- Traumatic brain injury.
Presentation of Neurogenic Shock
In some cases, ……. is common in patients with severe traumatic brain injury & spinal cord injury:
- Due to …….
- overt shock
- combined neurogenic shock & hypovolemic shock “from blood loss”
Cause of Anaphylactic shock
Presentation of Anaphylactic shock
Cardinal features of anaphylaxis:
- Skin reactions.
- Hemodynamic collapse.
- Bronchospasm.
- Increase Airway resistance.
Def of Drug-Toxin Induced Shock
Drug or toxin reactions that can be associated with:
- Shock
- or SIRS-like syndromes “Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome”.
**
Examples of Endocrine Shock
- Addisonian Crisis
- Myxedema
Examples of Drug-Toxin Induced Shock
Pathophysiology of Addisonian crisis
Pathophysiology of Myxedema
Cardiogenic shock and CO
Due to intracardiac causes of cardiac pump failure that result in Decreases cardiac output (CO).
Cardiomyopathic causes of shock include:
what is a Stunned myocardium?
Acutely ischemic myocardial segments with transiently impaired contractility “but completely reversible”
Types of Arrhythmic Shock
Atrial “Tachyarrhythmias & Bradyarrhythmia”
Ventricular “Tachyarrhythmias & Bradyarrhythmia”
- Both induce hypotension, often contributing to states of shock.
CO in Cardiogenic shock
Severely compromised
Causes of Cardiogenic shock
Significant rhythm disturbances:
- Sustained ventricular tachycardia.
- Complete heart block.
