23
Q

What is the use of isoproterenol?

A

Bradycardia

24
Q

Know the vasopressor charts on 10 and 11

25
What is cariogenic shock?
Heart is impaired → inadequate blood perfusion → Decreased blood volume circulating
26
Signs and symptoms of cariogenic shock?
Decreased BP, Decreased CO, Increased HR, confusion, rapid breathing
27
How do you diagnose cariogenic shock?
1. SBP below 90 for more than 30 minutes OR supportive intervention to maintain SBP above 90 2. ECG/EKG, blood tests, Echo, angiogram, lactate 3. BNP and Troponin levels
28
Treatment for cariogenic shock?
1. O2 → 90% 2. Give fluids: crystalloids in bolus of 250 - 500 mL 3. Inotropes (Dobutamine and milrinone) 4. Vasopressors: E 5. Treatment that targets the underlying condition
29
What is distributive shock?
1. Characterized by severe peripheral vasodilatation (vasodilatory shock) 2. Majority of blood is inadequately distributed throughout the vasculature
30
How do diagnose septic shock?
1. Hypotension SBP<100 2. Altered mental status 3. Tachypnea RR >22/min 4. ≥2 criteria suggests a greater risk of a poor outcome
31
Labs to diagnose septic shock?
1. Lactate >2 mmol/L 2. Elevated AST/ALT  3. Platelet <100 4. PT/INR elevation 5. UOP<0.5 
32
Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis?
1. Mucosal tissue region (Itching, flushing, swollen lips or tongue) 2. Respiratory compromise (Dyspnea, wheeze/bronchospasm, hypoxemia) 3. GI symptoms (Abdominal pain, vomiting)  
33
Treatment for septic shock?
1. Antibiotics within 1st hr 2. Isotonic fluids: 30 mL/kg first 3 hr 3. 1st line VP: NE>vasopressin>EPI>phenylephrine
34
Treatment for anaphylactic?
1st line: IV E 2nd line Benadryl,
35
Treatment for anaphylactic?
1st line: IV E 2nd line Benadryl, Famotidine, Prednisone
36
What is obstructive shock?
Blockage in  blood vessels or in the surrounding area of the heart that prevents blood from being pushed forward
37
What are the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism?
1. Tachycardia 2. Tachypnea 3. Hypoxia 
38
What are the signs and symptoms of tension pneumothorax?

What is the lab diagnosis of obstructive shock?
1. Echocardiogram (ECG) 2, POCT: Point of Care Testing  3. CT scan  4. Chest X-ray 
40

42
What is hypovolemic shock?
