Q

SECONDARY MODS

A

consequence of widespread systemic inflammation

-involves other organs and is not defined

18
Q

SECONDARY MODS:

-result of

A
  • late organ dysfunction

- result of generalized SIRS or sepsis

19
Q

Pathologic changes with MODS

A
  • uncontrolled systemic inflammation
  • tissue hypoxia
  • unregulated cell death
  • microvascular coagulopathy
20
Q

Inflammatory Cells

A 
neutrophils
macrophages
mast cells
lymphocytes
endothelial cells
21
Q

**Inflammatory cell functions

A

Produce and release mediators

22
Q

Plasma protein synthesis

A

Complement
kinin
coagulation

23
Q

FUNCTIONS: **Leukotrienes
Bradykinin
Prostaglandins
Oxygen free radicals

A

affect vasomotor tone and vascular permeability

24
Q

FUNCTIONS: **

Interleukins

A

Cytokine that causes vascular congestion, capillary leakage, and increased coagulation

25
Q

FUNCTIONS**

Platelet Activating Factor

A

phospholipid that release serotonin which increases vascular permeability

26
Q

FUNCTIONS**

Tumor Necrotic Factor

A

Polypeptide that stimulates clotting cascade and causes DIC permeability

27
Q

FUNCTIONS**

Protease

A

Proteolytic enzyme that damage endothelium and contribute to vascular permeability and organ dysfunction

28
Q

Factors affecting ScVO2

-CO

A

HR
volume
Resistance
Pump

29
Q

Factors affecting ScVO2

-SaO2

A

Oxygenation
FiO2
Ventilation

30
Q

Factors affecting ScVo2

-Hb

A
  • bleeding
  • hemodilution
  • anemia
31
Q

Factors affection ScVO2

-VO2

A

shivering
fever
seizures
muscle activity

32
Q

Why should we measure intra-abdominal pressures

A

abdominal pressures put pressure on the other vital organs–> edema and compresses vena cava

33
Q

Normal value: intra-abdominal pressures

34
Q

IAP 12-15

A

Increasing physiologic compromise

  • incr. SVR
  • SOB
  • dec. gut perfusion
  • poor healing
  • DVT
  • dec. UO
  • venal cava compressed
  • Decr. preload
  • Dec. CO
35
Q

IAP 16-20

A

Occult Organ Ischemia

  • INCREASED ICP & DECR. CPP
  • bowel ischemia/ edema
  • acidosis
  • oliguria
  • Incr. CVP and wedge pressure
36
Q

IAP >20

A

Onset of MODS

  • BRAIN SWELLING AND ISCHEMIA
  • CARDIOVACULAR INSTABILITY
  • ARDS
  • necrosis of bowel
  • Renal failure
  • flat vena cava
37
Q

PInterventions to decrease IAP

A

Reverse trendendelberg

  • remove constrictions
  • assess fluids
  • neutral to negative fluids in 3 days
  • NG tube
  • Rectal tubes
  • enemas
38
Q

what meds given to decrease IAP

A

Prokinetic agents:
erythromycin and metoclopramide
–> promote GI mobility

39
Q

where to level transducer for IAP

A

at iliac crest

40
Q

Treatment of MODS

A
  • fluids
  • hemodynamic support (inotropes, antidysrhythmics, vasopressors)
  • prevent and treat infection
  • tissue oxygenation
  • nutritional support
  • comfort
