Q

Types of circulatory shock.
Define hypoperfusion/circulatory shock

A

Hypovolaemic
cardiogenic
Obstructive
Distributive

A critical condition that is brought on by a sudden and global deficit in tissue perfusion, resulting in inadequate delivery of oxygen and nutrients to vital organs.

How is BP calculated?
How is CO calculated?
What is SV determined by?

A

Reduced perfusion

Cardiac output (CO) X systemic vascular resistance (SVR)

HR x SV

Q

What is hypovolaemic shock?

A

Shock resulting in decreased blood volume.
Very common.
May be the result of fluid losses or decreased fluid intake.
Fluid losses may be haemorrhagic (int or ext) or non-haemorrhagic (int or ext).
Decreased fluid intake may be due to restricted water access or conditions where animals are unable to swallow/keep water down.

Q

Distributive shock.
Causes.

A

Shock due to maldistribution of blood flow, usually due to inappropriate and widespread vasodilation.
Causes:
- Histamine release i.e. anaphylaxis.
- Generalised uncontrolled inflammatory responses due to bacterial infection (sepsis) or non-infectious insults e.g. pancreatitis, trauma, burns etc.

How is hypovolaemic shock further classified?
Give defs.

A

Compensated = the homeostatic mechs are successfully maintaining tissue perfusion.

Decompensated = Compensatory physiological mechs are are failing and the patient is in danger of dying.

17
Q

Initial treatment of HV shock?
What should the treatment also aim to do?
Potential treatment in severe blood loss?
First priority in HV shock patients?

A

Rapid administration of fluids to restore the intravascular volume and improve tissue perfusion.
Target the underlying cause.
Transfusion therapy.
Getting vascular access.

17
Q

Challenge of identifying hypovolaemic shock in the feline patient.
Common features of hypovolaemic shock in feline patients?

A

white coat effect – characterising pulse quality is challenging.
Do they decompensate more rapidly or present later?
Bradycardia and hypothermia.

18
Q

Stages of treatment of HV shock using isotonic crystalloids?

A
  1. Bolus: administer 10-20ml/kg in dog and 5-10 ml/kg in cat over 15-20 mins. Monitor throughout.
  2. Reassess for improvement.
  3. Bolus: administer a further bolus as in step 1 if required. Monitor throughout.
  4. Reassess the patient again – aiming for norm/near norm CV parameters.
  5. If 45-60ml/kg administered in dog and 30-35ml/kg administered in cat with minimal improvement, consider if you have right dx. or is there ongoing blood loss?
  6. If patient is losing blood and there is concurrent anaemia (PCV<20%) then consider administration of blood products.
  7. Once patient stable, move on to maintenance fluid therapy.
19
Q

What does ‘shock dose’ mean?

A

Shock doses equate to the total blood volume of the patient.
80-90ml/kg in dog and 50-55ml/kg in cat.
Aim is not to administer the full shock dose.
Question dx or approach if full shock dose has been administered w/o good effect.

20
Q

Determining efficacy of treatment…
1.What is the goal of the treatment?
2. How often should a major body system assessment be carried out initially?
3. What parameters are included in the major body systems assessment?
4. What would lactate do with effective treatment?
5. Target for urine output?
6. Why would an ECG be taken?

A
  1. For the patient to have normal or near normal CV parameters.
  2. Every 15-30 mins.
  3. Mentation, HR, pulse quality, RR, MM colour, CRT, temp etc.
  4. Decrease.
  5. > 0.5ml/kg/hr.
  6. To monitor arrhythmias which may be responsible for the shock state or that may develop as a result of shock.
21
Q
  1. What will hypertonic fluids do?
  2. What does this do to the initial vol requirement for volume resus?
  3. What do hypertonic fluids do to cerebral oedema?
  4. How much hypertonic fluid administered?
  5. What needs to be administered after the hypertonic fluids? – Why?
  6. Where would hypertonic fluids be contraindicated?
A
  1. Move water from the extravascular to the intravascular compartment.
  2. Decreases it.
  3. Reduce it.
  4. 4ml/kg administered ONCE.
  5. Isotonic crystalloids – replace the ‘debt’ to the extravascular compartment.
  6. If the patient is hypernatraemic or dehydrated.
22
Q

What about cows and horses?

A

Administering enough, fast enough is v difficult.
Use hypertonic fluid and follow with large volumes of isotonic water – stomach tube, voluntary, IV.

23
Q

Why is it important to identify the type of shock?

A

Optimum stabilisation strategy varies with type of shock. Fluid therapy not indicated for all types of shock, and may be contraindicated for some types.

24
Q

Give….
1. History
2. PE findings
3. Diagnostic tests
…..for cardiogenic shock.

A

Hx: Signs associated with heart failure e.g dyspnoea, exercise intolerance or syncope

PE: Heart murmurs, arrhythmias and gallop rhythms. Concurrent ‘backwards’ heart failure.

Diagnostic tests: Echocardiography, blood cardiac biomarkers, ECG.

25
Q

Give…
1. Hx
2. PE findings
3. Diagnostic tests
…for Obstructive shock.

A
  1. Hx: Associated with underlying cause e.g. GDV – Non-productive retching.
  2. PE: Dept on site/cause of obstruction
    – Abdo distension (GDV)
    – Absence of hindlimb pulses w/ aortic thromboembolism.
    – Pericardial effusion – muffled heart sounds.
  3. Diagnostic tests dept upon suspected cause e.g. R lat abdo x ray for GDV.
26
Q

Give…
1. Hx
2. PE
3. Diagnostic tests
…for distributive shock.

A
  1. Hx: Antigenic stimulation e.g. administration or ABX or septic focus e.g. pyometra.
  2. In compensatory phase: red/purple mm
    Sluggish CRT
    Bounding pulses.
  3. Dept upon suspected cause e.g. abdo ultrasound for pyo.
27
Q
  1. Treatment principles for cardiogenic shock.
  2. Treatment for…
    – Poor sys function
    – Clinically sig arrhythmias
    – Congestive heart failure
    – Electrolyte abnormalities
A
  1. Fluid therapy contraindicated!
    Provide O2.
  2. Therapy tailored to individual:
    – Poor sys function – inotropic drugs.
    – Clinically sig arrhythmias – anti-arrhythmic agents.
    – Congestive heart failure – Fluid drainage e.g. diuretics and thoracocentesis.
    – Patients with electrolyte abnormalities (e.g. hyperkalaemia) – correction.
28
Q

Treatment of obstructive shock.

A

Relieve obstruction
– E.g. GDV decompress
– E.g. pericardial tamponade – pericardiocentesis.
Some respond well to fluid therapy.
– E.g. GDV.
Some not fluid responsive – esp if underlying cardiac disease.
– E.g. pericardial tamponade and thrombotic disease (blood clots)

29
Q

Treatment of distributive shock.

A

Patient have relative hypovolaemia – may be fluid responsive.
Treat underlying cause.
– Sepsis – ABX
– Anaphylaxis – Anti-histamines
May have leaky vessels – avoid excessive crystalloid fluid therapy.
Drugs which alter heart contractility (inotropes) and cause vasoconstriction (vasopressors) may be needed for some patients, but if used inappropriately, could cause more harm than good. Seek specialist advice first.
