Shock Flashcards
What is the definition of shock?
Syndrome characterized by hypotension and decreased tissue perfusion leading to impaired cellular metabolism
shock results in the ?
resulting in an imbalance in supply/demand for oxygen and nutrients
when a patient is in shock, the decreased tissue perfusion and hypotension leads to the body to go into an ______metabolism
anaerobic
why is being in an anaerobic metabolic state really bad?
your body will secrete lactic acid -> making your body acidosis -> cellular death
she mentions how shock in smaller terms is just what?
not enough blood and oxygen getting to the tissues/body parts that need it
for the following lecture, she wants us to use, pump, hoses, gas and bucket to help us associate things easier for shock
what’s our pump?
what’s our hoses?
whats our pump and gas?
pump - heart ( beating )
hoses - vessels
pump & gas - stroke volume
(if you run out of gas, there isn’t any for your pump to push out )
what is cardiac out?
heart rate x stroke volume
( how fast your heart is beating )
( how much of blood your ventricle pumps out )
what is blood pressure ?
cardiac output x systemaic vascular resistance
what is the 4 main categories of shock ?
cardiogenic
hypovolemic
distributie
obstructive
what are the 2 hypovolemic shocks that we are going to need to know ?
absolute ( hemorrhagic )
relative ( non-hemorrhagic )
what are the 3 distributive shocks we are going to need to know ?
neurogenic
anaphylactic
septic
to emphasize and really get the idea of it what is the 9 total types of shock we are going to talk about?
place them in their respective categories as well when talking about it outloud
cardiogenic
hypovolemic
- absolute ( hemorrhagic )
- relative (non-hemorrhagic)
distributive
- neurogenic
- anaphylactic
- septic
obstructive
in the powerpoint it shows small little details to help identify and kinda associate to why/type of shock the patient is having, describe the main 4
cardiogenic is when your ?
hypovolemic is when you?
distributive is when you ?
obstructive is when you?
pump is broken, so heart is broken
not enough gas, so not enough blood/fluid in your vessels
vessels having an issue, hose problem
( fluid is there just not working )
hose has a blockage, like your vessels has something blocking the fluid from going
what is the definition of cardiogenic shock?
- decreased contractility
- decreased filling of the heart will result in decreased stroke volume
- RESULTING in compromised to cardiac output
notes defintion
either systolic or diastolic dysfunction of the pumping action of the heart results in reduced cardiac output
what is the number one reason for why patients end up getting cardiogenic shock ?
some other precipitating causes for cardiogenic shock include
- cardiomyopathy
- blunt cardiac injury
- severe systemic or pulmonary hypertension
- cardiac tamponade
- myocardial depression from metabolic problems
myocardial infarction ( heart attack )
cardiogenic shock presentation
the following terms, I want you to say which symptom will be happening
cardiovascular
respiratory
renal
skin
neuro
gi
tachycardia, low blood pressure, slow cap refill, narrow pulse pressure
tachypnea, crackles, cyanosis
decreased urine output, sodium and water retention
pale, cool, clammy
decreased cerebral perfusion confusion, anxiety, agitation
decreased bowel sounds
how does hypovolemic shock occur?
inadequate fluid volume in the intravascular space to support adequate perfusion
what are the 2 hypovolemic shock ?
absolute hypovolemia (hemorrhagic)
relative hypovolemia(non-hemorrhagic)
what is absolute hypovolemia
(hemorrhagic)?
loss of intravascular fluid
what are some examples or causes to patients who end up having absolute hypovolemia shock ?
hemorrhage
gi loss ( vomit, diarrhea )
diabetes insipidus
hyperglycemia
diuresis
what is relative (nonhemorrhagic ) hypovolemia shock ?
shift of fluid out of vascular space into extravascular space ( third spacing )
usually due to increased capillary permeability
what are some examples of causes that can cause a patient to go into a relative hypovolemia shock ?
burns
sepsis
pulmonary edema
how does hypovolemic shock presentation itself in patients ?
cardiovascular
respiratory !! Late what?
renal
skin
neuro
gi
tachycardia, decreased cardiac output, slow cap refill
tachypnea with late bradypnea
decreased urine output
pale, cool, clammy
decreased cerebral perfusion, confusion, anxiety, agitation
decreased or absent bowel sounds
for patients who have hypovolemic shock, the body is able to replace the blood volume at ___loss
however, greater than ___%loss we must give them ____
30%
30%
blood products
what is neurogenic shock for the distributive shock section ?
occur within 30 minutes of a spinal cord injury or spinal anesthesia at the T5 vertebra or above and last up to 6 weeks
the 3 main consequences patients will experience after being in a neurogenic shock is ?
hypotension ( massive vasodilation )
bradycardia ( unopposed parasympathetic stimulation )
poikiothermia ( unable to keep warm or cool, the body becomes at room temp )
how does neurogenic shock presentation itself in patients ?
when you see !! its bolded in the powerpoint and you need to know it
cardiovascular !!
respiratory
renal
skin !!!
neuro
gi
bradycardia, hypotension
related to level of injury, depending if they have a higher spinal cord injury they need intubation, lower, they dont need it
bladder dysfunction
poikilothermia
flaccid paralysis below the level of injury
bowel dysfunction
what is anaphylactic shock for distributive shock?
an acute and life threatening hypersensitive ( allergic ) reaction
what are some causes for patients to end up in an anaphylactic shock ?
dont overthink it
drugs
chemicals
vaccines
food
insect venom
what are the 3 immediate reactions that occur when patients are in an anaphylactic shock ?
massive vasodilation (hypotension)
release of vasoactive mediators
(try to fight it off)
increase in capillary permeability, resulting in fluids leaks from the vascular space into the interstitial space
how does anaphylactic shock presentation itself in patients ?
cardiovascular
respiratory !!
renal
skin !!
neuro
gi
tachycardia, chest pain, increase cardiac output
wheezing, stridor, angioedema, increase work of breathing
incontience possible
flushing, itching, angioedema, urticaria
( edema around the throat ), hives
anxiety, confusion, feeling of impending doom
cramping, abdominal pain, n/v/d
its important to inform patients that once you’re allergic to something, you should try to stay away from it as much as possible as to why ?
because your allergic reaction to it the next time might become even worse
what is septic shock for distributive shock?
presence of sepsis with hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation along with the presence of inadequate tissue perfusion
septic shock has 3 major pathophysiologic effects, which are ?
vasodilation
maldistribution of blood flow
myocardial dysfunction
( inflammation ^ )
how does septic shock presentation itself in patients ?
cardiovascular
respiratory
renal
skin !!
neuro !!
gi
heme !!
tachycardia, myocardial dysfunction
tachypnea, pulmonary edema, crackles, ards
decreased urine output
warm, flushed early, cool and mottled late
agitations confusion, decreased loc, coma late
decreased bowel sounds, gi bleed, paralytic ileum
increased coagulation, decreased fibrinolysis (DIC)
( clotting and bleeding at the same time )
dr.brooks mentions a good point to how patients who have septic shock will develop a fever, remember these patients are having an infection that has now become systemic and the inflammatory process is trying to fight it off
but think about the patients who are immunosuppressed, elderly, what is going to happen to them ?
they might not present with a fever, so its crucial to perform will assessments on these patients
another thing dr.brooks mentioned about septic shock, these patients are going to have severe hypotension, however they aren’t losing fluid? why is this ?
how do we treat this?
remember this is only shock that does this.
because of the severe hypotension
normally treat it with fluid resuscitation, even though its just going to be leaking out because of the massive vasodilation
- so we have to do other interventions
what is obstructive shock ?
develops the physical obstruction to blood flow occurs with decreased cardiac output
how is obstructive shock caused by ?
restricted diastolic filling of right ventricle from compression
what is the syndrome that can cause obstructive shock?
abdominal compartment syndrome
what is abdominal compartment syndrome ?
abdominal pressure compresses inferior vena cava
usually surgery after an aneurysm
how does obstructive shock presentation itself in patients ?
cardiovascular
respiratory
renal
skin
neuro
gi
tachycardia
tachypnea, shortness of breath
decreased urine output
pale, cool, clammy
decreased cereal perfusion, agitation
decreased bowel sounds, absent bowel sounds
