Shock Flashcards
Name the three categories of cardiogenic shock
- cardiomyopathic
- mechanical
- arrythmogenic
In the context of neonatology, name pathologies responsible for mechanical cardiogenic shock
- congenital heart disease/PDA depend lesions
- PPHN
- valuopathies (ie, aortic stenosis, pulmonary valve atresia/stensosis, mitral insuffency)
- acute myocardial ischemia
Causes of cardiomyopathic cardiogenic shock in neonates
- HOCM w/ SAM (hyperinsulinemia)
- viral/bacteerial cardiomyopathies
-dilated, restrictive, hypertrophic
causes of obstructive shock in neonates
PPHN
Tension pneumothorax
pulmonary embolism (rare)
cardiac tamponade (rare)
causes of distributive shock in neonates
- Sepsis (early + late)
- iatrogenic (iNO, dobutamine, anesthetics and analgesic rx)
- liver failure
- adrenal insufficiency
causes of hemorrhagic shock in neonates
- subgaleal hemorrhage
- fetomaternal hemorrhage
- vasa previa
- internal hemorrhage (IVH/NEC)
- Twin to twin transfusion
causes of non-hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock in neonates
- insensible fluid loss (bili lights, skin, low reserves)
2. diarrhea, vomiting
common causes of hemodynamic instability in preterm neonates
-Failed adaptation to transition
-PDA
-Sepsis/NEC
-Low pulmonary BF
(PPHN, High MAP)
Common causes of hemodynamic instability in the term neonate
HIE (acidosis complications)
Pulmonary HTN
Sepsis
Septal hypertrophy (GDM)
Factors contributing to low DBP
VASODILATION
-sepsis/nec/rx
ENLARGED VASCULAR TONE
-HD significant PDA/AVM/Giant hemangioma/Bronchopulmonary sequestion
HYPOVOLEMIA
-Cap leak/hemorrhage/transepidural h20 loss, excessive diuresis
Factors contributing to low SBP
- Low PBF (rv dysfunction, high MAP, PPHN, Obstructed PV)
- Impaired Filling (HOCM, cardiac tamponade, T.PTX)
- Structural/rhythm/myocardial injury
(CHD, SVT/VT, TMI, Cardiomyopathy) - Failed transition
(removal of placenta/PDA) - Vasoconstriction (exogenous, cold sepsis, pressors)
Rational for Hydrocortisone in shock
Data suggests that critical illness induces a state of absolute or relative adrenal insufficiency that may contribute to shock.
The purpose of administering glucocorticorticoids to patients with sepsis is to restore a balance to the HPA-axis, with the end goal of improving clinically meaningful outcomes such as mortality
Also, neonates dont have the endogenous ability to secrete cortisol the same as an adult is able to
Hydrocortison onset and pharmacodynamic
A short acting corticosteroid with minimal sodium-retaining potential. it decreases inflammation by suppression of migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and reversal of increased capillary permeability.
onset 1 hour
When to consider Hydrocortison?
Once on 2 line vasopressors
Hemodynamic significant PDA tx
- Ductal closure strategies (NSAIDs, Tylenol, surgery)
- Flow limitation strategies
(permissive hypercapnia, increase PEEP) - Enhance LV systolic function (dobutamine)
