- The following statements are true regarding cellular effects of shock except?
A. Decreased intracellular pH does not lead to changes in cellular gene expression, impair cellular metabolic pathways and impede cell membrane ion exchange
B. Decreased intracellular pH (intracellular acidosis) can alter the activity of cellular enzymes
C. Acidosis leads to cellular changes in calcium metabolism and calcium mediated cellular signaling which alone can interfere with the activity of specific enzymes and cell function
D. Changes in the normal cell function may progress to cellular injury or cell death
E. None of the above
A. Decreased intracellular pH does not lead to changes in cellular gene expression, impair cellular metabolic pathways and impede cell membrane ion exchange

- The following hormones are increased in shock except:
A. Glucagon
B. Insulin
C. Cortisol
D. ADH
E. NOTA
B. Insulin
In the context of shock:
A. Glucagon: Increases in response to stress, promoting glycogenolysis and raising blood glucose levels.
B. Insulin: Typically, insulin levels decrease in response to acute stress or shock. The body prioritizes increasing blood glucose levels to provide energy for essential organs and tissues during these conditions. Elevated glucagon, cortisol, and other counterregulatory hormones inhibit insulin secretion and action.
C. Cortisol: Increases in response to stress. It is a major stress hormone released from the adrenal cortex and plays a role in increasing blood glucose levels, among other effects.
D. ADH (Antidiuretic hormone): Also known as vasopressin, it increases in shock. It promotes water reabsorption in the kidneys and vasoconstriction, both of which help to raise blood pressure.
- Activated PMNs generate and release a number of substances that may induce cell or tissue injury. Except?
A. Cathepsin G
B. Elastase
C. Leukotrienes
D. Platelet- Activating Factor
E. None of the above
E. None of the above
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) or neutrophils play a vital role in the body’s defense against infections. When activated, PMNs release various substances that help in the killing and digestion of microbes. However, in some conditions, especially in excessive or inappropriate activation, these substances can induce tissue injury.
Let’s evaluate each substance:
A. Cathepsin G: It’s a serine protease released by neutrophils that can degrade extracellular matrix proteins, contributing to tissue damage.
B. Elastase: It’s another protease released by neutrophils. It can degrade elastin and other tissue components, leading to tissue injury.
C. Leukotrienes: These are lipid mediators produced by leukocytes, including neutrophils. They are involved in inflammation and can contribute to tissue damage and inflammation.
D. Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF): It’s a phospholipid mediator that can be produced by various cells, including neutrophils. PAF can stimulate platelet aggregation, induce inflammation, and contribute to tissue damage.

11 Hypoperfusion and hypoxia can induce cell death by apoptosis
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
A. TRUE
12 the intestinal mucosa cells apoptosis may compromise bowel integrity and lead to translocation of bacteria and endotoxins into the portal circulation during shock
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
A. TRUE
During shock, there can be decreased perfusion to various organs, including the intestines. Reduced blood flow to the intestines can result in injury to the intestinal mucosa. This injury can cause apoptosis (programmed cell death) of the mucosal cells.
When the integrity of the intestinal mucosa is compromised, there’s an increased risk of bacteria and endotoxins from the intestines entering the bloodstream, specifically the portal circulation. This phenomenon is known as bacterial translocation, and it can lead to systemic inflammatory responses and sepsis.
- patients who fail to respond to initial resuscitative efforts should be assumed to have ongoing active hemorrhage from large vessels and require extensive diagnostic tests.
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
B. FALSE
The statement implies that if a patient does not respond to initial resuscitative efforts, the automatic assumption should be ongoing active hemorrhage from large vessels and that they should undergo extensive diagnostic tests.
While ongoing active hemorrhage from large vessels is a possibility in patients who don’t respond to initial resuscitation, it’s not the only possibility. Other causes, such as cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, or severe traumatic brain injury, among others, could also contribute to the failure of resuscitative measures.
Moreover, the term “extensive diagnostic tests” is quite broad. While it’s essential to identify the cause of shock quickly, not every patient may need “extensive” tests. What’s crucial is that the tests and interventions are appropriate to the clinical scenario.
- hypoxia inhibits the production of erythrocyte 2, 3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3DG)
A. True
B. False
B. False
2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) plays a crucial role in the oxygen-binding curve of hemoglobin. An increase in its concentration within erythrocytes makes hemoglobin release oxygen more readily to the tissues.
When tissues experience hypoxia, one of the compensatory mechanisms is to increase the production of 2,3-DPG within erythrocytes. This increase ensures that more oxygen is offloaded from hemoglobin to the tissues, where it’s needed.

- Which is the following statement/s is/are true regarding shock.
A. Resultant cellular injury is usually reversible
B. Inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to maintain normal tissue and cellular function.
C. Clinical manifestations are the result of stimulation of the sympathetic and neuroendocrine stress responses.
D. A and B
E. All of the above
E. All of the above
A. Resultant cellular injury is usually reversible:
This statement is partially true. In the early stages of shock, cellular injury can be reversible. However, if shock is prolonged and severe, the cellular injury can become irreversible, leading to cell death.
B. Inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to maintain normal tissue and cellular function:
True. One of the fundamental characteristics of shock is the inadequate delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients to tissues, which compromises cellular function.
C. Clinical manifestations are the result of stimulation of the sympathetic and neuroendocrine stress responses:
True. The body’s response to shock involves the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the neuroendocrine stress response. This results in clinical manifestations such as tachycardia, vasoconstriction, and increased alertness, among others.
28.Which of the statements/is/are true?
A. While the quantitative nature of the physiologic response in shock will vary wth the etiology of shock, the qualitative nature of the response to shock is similar with common pathways in all types of shock
B. The magnitude of the physiologic response is proportional to both the degree and the duration of the shock
C.The physiologic responses to hypovolemia are directed at preservation of perfusion to the lungs and kidneys
D. A nd B
E. All of the above
D. A and B
A. While the quantitative nature of the physiologic response in shock will vary with the etiology of shock, the qualitative nature of the response to shock is similar with common pathways in all types of shock:
True. Regardless of the specific cause (etiology) of shock, there are common physiologic pathways and responses activated in the body. The specific magnitude or degree of these responses might vary based on the cause, but the overall direction and nature of the response are similar across different types of shock.
B. The magnitude of the physiologic response is proportional to both the degree and the duration of the shock:
True. The body’s response will be more pronounced and severe if the shock is more profound (degree) or if it lasts longer (duration).
C. The physiologic responses to hypovolemia are directed at preservation of perfusion to the lungs and kidneys:
This statement is partially true. In the face of hypovolemia (low blood volume), the body prioritizes perfusion to vital organs such as the brain and heart. While the kidneys are important and the body does make efforts to preserve their perfusion, they might experience decreased blood flow in severe hypovolemia as the body prioritizes other vital organs. The lungs, on the other hand, don’t “perfuse” in the same way as other organs – they receive the entirety of cardiac output. The statement might be misconstrued to suggest that the lungs and kidneys are the primary focus, which isn’t accurate.

B. Epinephrine:
Epinephrine (adrenaline) stimulates both alpha and beta receptors. Its stimulation of alpha receptors can lead to vasoconstriction.
C. Dopamine:
Dopamine, at varying doses, can stimulate dopamine, beta, and alpha receptors. At higher doses, dopamine can stimulate alpha receptors, leading to vasoconstriction.
D. Dobutamine:
Dobutamine is a synthetic catecholamine that primarily stimulates beta-1 receptors, leading to increased cardiac contractility. It has minimal effect on alpha receptors and does not cause significant vasoconstriction.

A. Bacteremia
B. Sepsis
C. Septic shock
D. Severe Sepsis
C. Septic shock
To determine the most likely diagnosis, let’s analyze the provided clinical features:
1. Pneumonia with positive bacterial culture in the sputum: This indicates a confirmed bacterial infection.
2. Fever and leukocytosis: These are signs of a systemic inflammatory response.
3. Tachycardia (HR 108): This is an elevated heart rate.
4. Urine output of 15cc per hour for the past 4 hours: This is a reduced urine output, indicating potential kidney dysfunction.
5. Blood Pressure (BP) 110/60: The blood pressure is within a normal range and is not indicative of shock.
Given the criteria for sepsis and related conditions:
* Bacteremia: Presence of bacteria in the blood.
* Sepsis: A life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
* Septic shock: A subset of sepsis in which particularly profound circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities are associated with a greater risk of mortality than with sepsis alone. It’s usually characterized by hypotension that’s unresponsive to fluid resuscitation.
* Severe Sepsis: Sepsis with evidence of organ dysfunction, hypoperfusion, or hypotension.

- A patient undergoing elective open cholecystectomy under spinal anesthesia develops a BP 70/50. There are no signs of bleeding and sepsis. What is the most appropriate initial therapy?
A. Transfusion of blood
B. 2L of plain LR
C. Beta adrenergic stimulator
D. Alpha mimetic drug
E. Administration of corticosteroids
D. Alpha mimetic drug
In the scenario described, the patient undergoes an elective open cholecystectomy under spinal anesthesia and develops hypotension without signs of bleeding or sepsis. This suggests the hypotension is likely related to the spinal anesthesia.
Spinal anesthesia can cause hypotension due to sympathetic blockade. This leads to vasodilation of the blood vessels, particularly in the lower extremities, causing a reduction in systemic vascular resistance and subsequent hypotension.
Given the probable cause of the hypotension and the provided options:
A. Transfusion of blood: This is not the first choice as there is no sign of bleeding.
B. 2L of plain LR (Lactated Ringer’s solution): Rapid fluid resuscitation can be beneficial to counteract the vasodilation and increase preload, thereby improving blood pressure.
C. Beta adrenergic stimulator: This is not the primary choice for treatment of hypotension due to spinal anesthesia.
D. Alpha mimetic drug: Drugs that stimulate alpha receptors cause vasoconstriction. Alpha mimetics, like phenylephrine, are commonly used to treat hypotension resulting from spinal anesthesia.
E. Administration of corticosteroids: Not indicated in this scenario.
- A patient has a BP 60/40 and serum lactate level of 30mg/100 ml. His cardiac outpus is 1.9L/min central venous pressure of 2 cm H2O, O2 sat 98% The most likely diagnosis is?
A. Hypovolemic Shock
B. Cardiac Tamponade
C. Tension pneumothorax
D. Pulmonar embolism
E. Septic shock
A. Hypovolemic Shock
- Hypotension (BP 60/40): Indicates a shock state.
- Elevated serum lactate (30mg/100 ml): Indicates tissue hypoperfusion.
- Low cardiac output (1.9L/min): Further supports a shock state.
- Low central venous pressure (2 cm H2O): Indicates decreased venous return or decreased blood volume.
- Normal oxygen saturation (O2 sat 98%): Indicates adequate oxygenation, which can help us rule out certain causes.
- All of the following are true except?
A. Dopamine decreases renal blood flow
B. Dobutamine has predominantly inotrophic effects
C. Vassopressors that have primarily alpha adrenergic effect have little value in shock
D. A and C
E. None of the Above
D. A and C
A. Dopamine decreases renal blood flow:
* This statement is not universally true. At low doses (typically < 5 µg/kg/min), dopamine has a vasodilatory effect on renal and mesenteric vessels due to stimulation of dopamine-1 receptors, which can actually increase renal blood flow. At higher doses, it stimulates beta and alpha-adrenergic receptors, which can increase heart rate, contractility, and vasoconstriction.
B. Dobutamine has predominantly inotropic effects:
* True. Dobutamine primarily stimulates beta-1 adrenergic receptors, leading to increased myocardial contractility (inotropic effect) with less impact on heart rate (chronotropic effect). It has limited effects on peripheral vasculature.
C. Vasopressors that have primarily alpha-adrenergic effects have little value in shock:
* False. Alpha-adrenergic agonists cause vasoconstriction, which can increase systemic vascular resistance and help restore blood pressure in shock states, especially when hypotension is due to vasodilation (e.g., septic shock).
