Shock Flashcards

1
Q

what is shock?

A

circulatory failure causes tissues to be hypoperfused. when the organs are not perfused, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome occurs and can lead to death

Q

what is distributive shock?

A

hypoperfusion occurs because of extreme vasodilation that makes it more difficult for vital organs to be properly perfused

blood pools in peripheral vascular system, causes pseudo hypovolemia

Q

why are lactate levels elevated with shock?

A

anaerobic metabolism is taking over because oxygen supply is not meeting demands of the body due to poor perfusion

21
Q

what should urine output be?

A

> 30mL/hr

22
Q

when are hemoglobin and hematocrit increased?

A

hypovolemia - less diluted in fluid

23
Q

when are hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased?

A

hemorrhage - lost with blood loss

24
Q

what are the stages of shock?

A

compensatory
progressive
irreversible

25
Q

what are the findings of compensated shock?

A

normal BP
tachycardia
tachypnea/hyperventilation (cause of respiratory alkalosis)
cold clammy skin
decreased UOP
confusion and anxiety

26
Q

what are the findings of progressive shock?

A

systolic BP <90 with MAP <65
tachycardia >150 BPM with thready pulse
rapid shallow respirations with crackles
mottled skin with petechiae
decreased UOP
lethargy

27
Q

what does progressive shock do in the body?

A

inflammatory response occurs
capillaries leak
increased need for mechanical ventilation
AKI from decreased kidney perfusion
clotting cascade activates
hypermetabolic state

28
Q

how is BP treated in shock?

A

fluid resuscitation
vasoactive medications

29
Q

what are the findings of irreversible shock?

A

systolic BP <90 with MAP <65
erratic heart rate
cyanosis, requires intubation
jaundice
no UOP
unresponsive

30
Q

how to recognize shock early from BP?

A

systolic <90
MAP <65
systolic drops by 40 from baseline

31
Q

when are vasoactive medications used?

A

when fluid therapy doesn’t keep MAP above 65

32
Q

what must be done when vasoactive medications are administered?

A

continuous VS monitoring
doses titrated based on pt response
do not stop abruptly
best to give through central line

33
Q

what side effect can come from using vasoactive medications?

A

necrosis of extremities - vasoconstriction decreases perfusion around capillaries

34
Q

name vasoactive medications

A

epi, norepi, phenylephrine
vasopressin
dopamine
dobutamine
milrinone

35
Q

what is the most common type of shock?

A

hypovolemic shock

36
Q

what are external vs internal fluid losses?

A

external - trauma (shot or stabbed), surgical blood loss, vomiting

internal - internal hemorrhage, ascites, third spacing

37
Q

how is hypovolemic shock treated?

A

albumin for ascites and third-spacing
blood products for hemorrhage
treat underlying cause - stop fluid loss

38
Q

assessing cardiogenic shock

A

monitor ECG
look at lab work for electrolytes and troponin

39
Q

how is cardiogenic shock treated?

A

correct underlying cause - stent, valve replacement, or fix electrolyte imbalances
fluid therapy should never be a bolus
vasoactive medications
oxygenation
pain control

40
Q

signs of obstructive shock

A

hypotension
tachycardia
chest pain
tachypnea, dyspnea
hypoxia

41
Q

how is obstructive shock treated?

A

pericardiocentesis used to relieve tamponade
thrombolytics used to treat PE
needle decompression used to treat tension pneumothorax

42
Q

what is beck’s triad (signs of cardiac tamponade)

A

hypotension
JVD
muffled heart sounds

43
Q

what are the signature signs of tension pneumothorax?

A

chest pain, SOB
absent lung sounds
tracheal deviation

44
Q

what is neurogenic distributive shock?

A

damage to nervous system impairs sympathetic tone
body doesn’t get message to vasoconstrict as needed, vascular system stays dilated

45
Q

what are the signs of neurogenic shock?

A

BRADYCARDIA (unlike everything else) and hypotension
dry, warm skin
nausea
confusion

46
Q

what can cause neurogenic shock?

A

spinal cord injury
spinal anesthesia

47
Q

how to treat neurogenic shock

A

atropine for bradycardia
large bore IV for rapid fluid infusion
C-spine stabilization if pt has spinal cord injury
elevate legs if it it caused by anesthesia
vasoactive meds

48
Q

what causes anaphylactic shock?

A

histamines and cytokine release causes systemic vasodilation

49
Q

signs and symptoms of anaphylactic shock

A

can occur rapidly or hours after allergen exposure
erythema, flushing, itching
stridor, bronchospasm, dyspnea
angioedema
hypotension

50
Q

managing anaphylactic shock

A

remove allergen
remove items from swollen extremities
elevate legs, but elevate HOB if airway is compromised
IV epi, diphenhydramine, nebulizer
IV fluids
administer O2 via NRB, intubate if respiratory arrest
CPR for cardiac arrest
