PCV 57%
TS 8.4
Blood glucose 89
Lactate 5.6

Fluid defecit: intravascular
Path: decreased blood volume with concurrent dehydration
Microvascular perm: normal
Plasma oncotic pressure: normal

Which fluid are you going to use to treat Chip’s shock?

Plasma-Lyte
7.5% NaCl
VetStarch
0.45% NaCl

A

Dehydration —> interstitial loss
Chronic dehydration —> + intracellular loss

Plasma-Lyte - isotonic crystalloid
- 25% stays in vascular space; 75% redistributes from vascular to interstitial space
- OK to start with but may need to change at some point

7.5% NaCl - hypertonic saline
- pulls fluid from interstitial and intracellular spaces
- NO bc will deplete compartments already dehydrated

VetStarch - synthetic colloid
- pulls fluid from interstitial space
- NO bc interstitial space already depleted

0.45% NaCl - hypotonic crystalloid
- NOT used to treat shock
- good for replenishing interstitial and intracellular dehydration LATER

PCV 35%
TS 4.8
Blood glucose 176
Lactate 6.8

What type of shock is most likely?

A

Traumatic hypovolemic shock

PCV 35%
TS 4.8
Blood glucose 176
Lactate 6.8

Which fluid are you INITIALLY going to use to treat Tank’s shock?

Plasma-Lyte
7.5% NaCl
VetStarch
Packed RBCs

A

Not dealing with dehydration, so don’t have to worry about interstitial and intracellular spaces

Plasma-Lyte - isotonic crystalloid
- 25% stays in vascular space, 75% redistributes to interstitial space
- Tank is bleeding, a little anemic, protein a little low so have to be mindful of how much Plasma-Lyte administered
- OK if use a volume-limited approach until we know Tank is not still hemorrhaging
- avoid BP > 100 mmHg to avoid promoting hemorrhage
- recommend 1/4 shock dose over 30 minutes instead of full dose over 15 minutes

7.5% NaCl - hypertonic saline
- pulls fluid from interstitial and intracellular spaces
- OK since patient has normal hydration
- can also be used to treat increased intracranial pressure if concerned about mentation (instead of or in addition to mannitol)

VetStarch - synthetic colloid
- pulls fluid from interstitial space
- OKish because normal hydration and not in septic shock
- can cause hypocoagulability

Packed RBCs
- NO for initial treatment as cannot administer quickly enough to resolve shock
- must give slowly (over 2-4 hours) and monitor for signs of transfusion reaction
- can use later if needed

Which fluid are you INITIALLY going to use to treat Murphy’s shock?
Plasma-Leyte
7.5% NaCl
VetStarch
0.45% NaCl & 2.5% Dextrose

A

Plasma-lyte - isotonic crystalloid
- 25% stays in vascular space, 75% redistributes to interstitial space
- OK to start tx with this patient who is shocky and dehydrated

7.5% NaCl - Hypertonic saline
- might help with septic shock, but have concurrent dehydration so contraindicated

0.45% NaCl + 2.5% dextrose - hypotonic saline and dextrose
- bag says isotonic because dextrose adds tonicity, but dextrose metabolizes to CO2 and water (hypotonic)
- NO bc in the body, this mix is hypotonic

  • 0.9% NaCl + dextrose would be ok to use (isotonic saline and dextrose)
