Shock Flashcards
What is distributive shock?
Vascular container enlarges without proportional increase in fluid.
What are the types of distributive shock?
Septic, neurogenic, anaphylactic, and psychogenic.
What is septic shock?
Systemic infection that causes damage to blood vessel walls causing vasodilation.
What is neurogenic shock?
Shock from spinal cord injury interrupting sympathetic nervous system.
What is psychogenic shock?
Shock caused by increase stimulation of vagus nerve usually causing fainting and is self correcting.
What is cardiogenic shock?
Shock that occurs when the heart pumping mechanism cannot function correctly. “Pump failure”
What are intrinsic causes of cardiogenic shock? (Result of direct damage to the heart itself)
Heart muscle damage, dysrhythmia, valvular disruption.
What are extrinsic causes of cardiogenic shock? (Result of problems outside the heart)
Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax.
What percentage of blood/fluid do you lose during hypovolemic shock?
20%
What happens during compensates shock?
Heart is stimulated to increase cardiac output, peripheral blood vessels are stimulated to constrict which results in the shunting of blood from peripheral capillaries to central circulation, metabolism switches from aerobic to anaerobic, and lactic acid builds up.
What happens during decompensated shock?
Blood pressure drops, usually at 1500 ml lost or more.
What are some non-hemorrhagic causes of Hypovolemic shock?
Dehydration from loss of water/electrolytes or vomiting/diarrhea, or burns greater than 20% TBSA.
What are the vitals of class 1 hemorrhage?
Normal heart rate, ventilatory rate, and systolic BP, <15% blood loss.
What are the vitals of class two hemorrhage?
Heart rate >100, ventilatory rate 20-30, normal systolic BP, 15-30% loss of blood.
What are the vitals of class three hemorrhage?
> 120 heart rate, 30-40 ventilatory rate, decrease in systolic BP, 30-40% loss in blood.
What are the vitals of class four hemorrhage?
> 140 heart rate, >35 ventilatory rate, greatly decreased systolic BP, >40% blood loss.
What are the approximate systolic BP’s in the radial, femoral, and carotid arteries?
Radial: 80mmHg
Femoral: 70mmHg
Carotid: 60mmHg
What is the lethal triad?
Hypothermia (<95f)
Acidosis
Coagulopathy
What percentage of the body is water?
60%
What percentage of body fluid is intracellular fluid?
45%
