Shock Flashcards
Shock definition:
Inadequate oxygen delivery to meet metabolic demands… results in… global tissue hypoperfusion and metabolic acidosis
Shock can/ can not occur with a normal BP:
Can
Pathophysiology:
The lack of adequate energy supply leads to a build up of waste products and failure of energy-dependent functions, release of ccellular enzymes, accumulation of calcium and ROS -> cellular injury and cell death
Stages of shock:
- Initial compensated stage - sympathoadrenal system, cortisol secretion, ACTH, vasopressin, RAAS, endothelin and vasoconstrictor production
- Decompensated reversible stage - organ damage symptoms appear - hypotension, hypoxia, tachypnea, oliguria, acidosis, altered mentation
- Decompensated irreversible stage - Multi-organ faliure
Organ response (microcirculation):
Systemic vascular resistance rises - NE acts on a-1 receptors as a VC
Reduced filtration
Organ response (cellular response):
Decreased ATP
Accumulation of H+, lactate
Organ response (neuroendocrine response):
Vasoconstriction
Reduced vagal activity
ACTH release
Increased renin release
Organ response (Cardiovascular response):
Decreased ventricular filling (decreased preload)
Impaired myocardial contractility which reduced SV
Elevated systemic vascular resistance
Organ response (Pulmonary response):
Increased pulmonary vascular resistance (septic shock)
Tachypnoea but restricted ventilation
Atelectasis
ARSD
Organ response (renal response):
Reduced renal blood flow and reduced GFR
Reduced urine volume, oliguria, ARF
Acute tubular necrosis
Organ response (Inflammatory responses):
Activation of coagulation cascade causes microvascular thrombosis
TNF-a
IL-8
Thromboxan A2
Compensation:
- Mobilization of 11L interstitial fluids
- SNS activation
- RAAS activation, ADH secretion
Types of distributive shock:
Septic
SIRS
Neurogenic
Anaphylatic
Drug-/toxin-induced
Endocrine
Mild shock:
Loss of 10-15%
Collapse of subcutaneous vv. of extremities
Patient is thirsty and cold
Moderate shock:
Loss of 20-30%
Mild tachycardia
Narrow pulse pressure
Tachypnea
Anxiety
Oliguria
Drowsy
Confused
