SHOCK Flashcards
Most common type of shock in surgical patients
[HaNSCOT]
Hypovolemic
Neurogenic
SEPTIC
Cardiogenic
Obstructive
Traumatic
Cause of hypovolemic shock from loss of interstitial fluid
BOWEL OBSTRUCTION
Shock caused by decreased resistance within capacitance vessels
VASOGENIC SHOCK
Shock from vasodilation due to acute loss of sympathetic tone
Neurogenic shock
Shock resulting from failure of the heart as a pump
Cardiogenic shock
Cardiogenic shock from mechanical impediment to circulation leads to depressed cardiac output rather than primary cardiac failure
Obstructive shock
Shock from inflammation triggered by soft tissue and bone injury
Traumatic shock
What type of shock happens during pulmonary embolism
Obstructive shock
Core principles in the management of critically ill or injured patient
a. definitive control of airway
b. control of active hemorrhage
c. volume resuscitation
d. recognition and adequate correction of hypoperfusion
e. excessive fluid resuscitation may exacerbate bleeding
What is the main goal of the neuroendocrine response to hemorrhage?
maintain perfusion to the heart and brain
What is the initial stimulus for the neuroendocrine response during hemorrhagic shock?
loss of circulating blood volume
Afferent pain signals transmit via the ______ resulting in activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis as well as activation of ANS to induce direct sympathetic stimulation of the adrenal medulla to release _______
spinothalamic tract, catecholamines
Baroreceptors are found in _____, ______ and _____
atria, aortic bodies, carotid bodies
T/F Normally the baroreceptors inhibit the ANS (sympathetic tone). When activated, they disinhibit ANS, causing vasoconstriction
T. baroreceptor activation -> diminished baroreceptor output -> disinhibition of ANS -> increased peripheral vasoconstriction
T/F arotic and carotid bodies do not have chemoreceptors
F. They have chemoreceptors that detect O2 concentrations
Give 3 cardiovascular responses to diminished venous return and decreased CO due to hemorrhage
increased cardiac heart rate (1) and contractility (2), venous and arterial vasoconstriction (3)
Heart rate and contractility are increased by which adrenergic receptors?
beta-1
arteriolar vasoconstriction is brought about by activation of which adrenergic receptors?
alpha-1
What is the effect of sympathetic output on the adrenal medulla?
release of catecholamines
What is the effect of cortisol on gluconeogenesis and insulin
stimulatory to gluconeogenesis, inhibitory to insulin (insulin resistance)
What hormones are released by the ff. organs during shock?
Hypothalamus -
Kidney -
Pituitary -
H: ACTH
K: Renin
P: ADH
adverse effect of ADH on the intestine
intestinal ischemia
The primary determinant of preload
venous return
The law states that the force of ventricular contraction is a function of its preload
Frank-Starling Law
The force that resists myocardial work during contraction
AFTERLOAD
In neurogenic shock and sepsis, the microvessels
a. vasodilate
b. vasoconstrict
A. VASODILATE
In hemorrhagic shock and sepsis, the microvessels
a. vasodilate
b. vasoconstrict
B. VASOCONSTRICT
T/F
In hemorrhagic shock, correction of hemodynamic parameters and restoration of O2 delivery does not lead to restoration of tissue O2.
TRUE
Most common type of shock in surgical or trauma patient
hemorrhagic/hypovolemic
Result of acute blood loss EXCEPT
a. reflexive decreased baroreceptor stimulation
b. sympathetic stimulation
c. increased output from atrial stretch receptors
d. release of epinephrine and norepinephrine
c. increased output from atrial stretch receptors
T/F
Shock in trauma patient should be presumed to be due to hemorrhage until proven otherwise
T
Patient A with hemorrhagic shock, stable vital signs, no CNS symptoms has a percentage blood loss of _____ and estimated volume of blood loss of _____
<15%, 750mL
Patient B with tachycardia (>120 bpm) and hypotension has approximated % blood loss of _____ and estimated volume of blood loss of _____.
30-40%, 1,500-2000mL
Patient C with tachycardia (>100bpm) and orthostatic hypotension has an approximated % blood loss of _____ and an estimated volume of blood loss of _____.
15-30%, 750-1,500mL
What is the CNS symptom of C? (tachycardia and orthostatic hypotension)
Anxiety
What is the CNS symptom of patient B? (tachycardia and hypotension )
Confusion
