Q

how does hypovolemia cause shock?

A

hypovolemia is characterized by decreased intravascular volume, which decreases preload and thus decreases cardiac output which affects oxygen delivery.

Q

what is the pathophysiology of distributive shock?

A

Maldistribution of fluid from changes in the vascular tone and increased vascular permeability –> RELATIVE hypovolemia –> decreased systemic vascular resistance

Q

what is the pathophysiology of obstructive shock?

A

compression of the heart or great vessels that interferes with venous return leading to decreased diastolic filling and preload, and thus decreased cardiac output.

Q

what is the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock?

A

decrease in forward flow from heart due to “pump failure” which leads to primary decrease in cardiac output.

Q

what are 2 causes of metabolic shock?

A
  1. severe hypoglycemia
  2. mitochondrial dysfunction
17
Q

The baroreceptor reflex is one of the body’s compensatory mechanisms during shock. What does this reflex cause to compensate during shock?

A

increases heart rate
increases contractility
causes peripheral vasoconstriction

18
Q

The chemoreceptors in the cardioregulatory center of the medulla oblongata and carotid body sense changes in pH, CO2, H+, and O2. What compensatory changes do these chemoreceptors cause in the face of shock?

A

increase respiratory rate and tidal volume

19
Q

what compensatory changes does RAAS activation cause in the face of shock?

A

increase angiotensin II which leads to peripheral vasoconstriction and renal Na absorption

20
Q

what compensatory changes does ADH cause in the face of shock?

A

increase angiotensin II which leads to increase renal water reabsorption

21
Q

T/F: shock is a clinical diagnosis that can be made even if only one perfusion parameter abnormality is present

A

true

22
Q

what are the perfusion parameters that we assess in order to determine if a patient is in shock or not?

A
  • heart rate
  • pulse quality
  • MM color
  • CRT
  • body temp
  • mentation
23
Q

what is the hallmark of decompensated shock?

A

hypotension

24
Q

what is the hallmark of anaphylactic and septic shock?

A

initial vasodilation instead of vasoconstriction

you will see tachycardia, CRT < 1 second, red-injected mucous membranes, elevated temp, and bounding pulses.

25
Q

Describe how cats can exhibit different signs of shock than dogs typically would

A

unpredictable HR changes (bradycardic = shock)
RARELY manifest signs of vasodilation (injected MM, rapid CRT, etc.)
the lungs are their shock organ (GI is dogs shock organ)
typically hypothermic

26
Q

what are clinical exam findings that clue you into thinking your patient have cardiogenic shock?

A

heart murmur
respiratory distress
coughing
jugular venous distention
ascites
pleural or pericardial effusion
pulmonary crackles
arrythmias
syncope

27
Q

what are diagnostics you can run in addition to you examination in order to determine what type of shock your patient is in?

A

point of care tests that are quick
- PCV/TS
- blood glucose
- lactate
- blood pressure
- ECG
- POCUS
- acid-base and electrolyte panel

once the pt is more stable, then you can perform things like CBC/Chem/UA, chest and abdominal xrays and/or ultrasound, echocardiogram, fluid analysis, cultures, etc.

28
Q

what is the GENERAL treatment for shock?

A

the goal is to restore oxygen delivery to the tissues
1. flow by oxygen
2. obtain IV access
3. IV fluid bolus (UNLESS CARDIOGENIC THEN NO FLUIDS)

29
Q

what fluids are appropriate for patients in shock?

A

isotonic crystalloid bolus (5-20 mL/kg IV over 10-20 min) and repeat as needed for up to 60-90 mL (cats less)

also could do: hypertonic saline, colloids, whole blood (based on patient and their type of shock)

30
Q

what are additional treatments that you should perform in patients with obstructive (distributive) shock?

A
  1. relieve the pressure –gastric trocarization (GDV), thoracocentesis, pericardiocentesis
31
Q

what are additional treatments to do in patients with septic shock?

A

vasopressors (norepinpehrine) and broad spectrum antibiotics

32
Q

what are are additional treatments to give a patient in anaphylactic shock?

A

vasopressors (epi)
anti-histamines

33
Q

How do you treat cardiogenic shock?

A
  1. oxygen
  2. minimize stress
  3. correct underlying cause (CHF –> diuretics +/- thoracocentesis; systolic dysfunction –> positive inotropes dobutaine or pimobendan; life-threatening arrhythmias –> lidocaine, atropine, vs others)
34
Q

what is the monitoring protocol for patients being treated for shock?

A

reassess every 5-10 minutes

once normal perfusion parameters, de-escalate monitoring and therapy.
