Q

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?

A

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 )

cardiogenic is when your ?
hypovolemic is when you?
distributive is when you ?
obstructive is when you?

A

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

Q

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 ?

A

they might not present with a fever, so its crucial to perform will assessments on these patients

Q

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.

A

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

Q

I am going to want to recap the difference between each shock
lets talk about each one that has a big difference compared to other shocks that you need to know

this are the big ones that have differences with that need to be pointed out

neurogenic shock
heart rate =
skin =

anaphylactic shock
respiratory =
skin =

septic shock
skin =
heme =

A

neurogenic
bradycardia
polikoemia

anaphylactic
angioedema, stridor, wheezing
hives, angioedema, itching

warm, flushed skin, fever type
DIC, clotting and bleeding at the same time

44
Q

there are 4 stages of shock, no matter the shock type, which are?

A

initial
compensatory
progressive
refractory

45
Q

what is the initial stage of shock?

A

occurs at a cellular level, usually not clinically apparent

46
Q

what is happening at in initial, cellular level of shock?

A

metabolism changes at cellular level from aerobic to anaerobic
- lactic acid builds up and must be removed by the liver
- process requires oxygen however is unavailable due to decreased tissue perfusion

47
Q

what is the compensatory stage of shock?

A

clinically apparent and involves neural, hormonal and biochemical compensatory mechanism to try to overcome the increasing consequence of anaerobic metabolism and to maintain homestasis

48
Q

what is the patho that is happening behind the compensatory stage of shock? (4)
dont over think it

the cool, clammy skin is for everything BUT????????

A

vasoconstriction to pump blood in lungs, heart, brain

decreased renal perfusion = RAAS system = increase blood pressure

decreased blood flow to the gut causes peristalsis - increase risk for gi bleed

cool, clammy skin

septic shock, patient is warm and flushed

49
Q

if your patient has decreased blood flow to the gut causing peristalsis
what is an intervention we can do ? (2)

A

early/slow feeding (enteral feedings)
PPI - stress ulcer prevention

50
Q

if a patient has decreased renal perfusion, what lab are we looking at?

test question
what is better, lab for renal or hourly urinary output ?

A

BUN and Creatinine

hourly/frequent urinary output

51
Q

what is the progressive stage of shock?

A

begins as compensatory mechanisms fail and aggressive interventions are needed to prevent the development of MODS

52
Q

what is the patho behind the progressive stage of shock ?

A

honestly in short, everything is 100x worse compared to the compensatory, working even harder to breathe, gi bleeding is more at risk

decreased cellular perfusion and altered capillary permeability lead to leaky
- more edema
- losing fluid

cardiac output decrease - bp drops, pulses get weaker

dysrhythmias, ekg changes, ischemia
gi bleeding, tachypnea, crackles

acute kidney injury issues, hypo perfusion, we can’t filter things like we should, peeing too much or not at all

liver fails, jaundice, elevated enzymes, DIC- clotting and bleeding everywhere

53
Q

what is the refractory stage?

A

honestly its just mods from what she says, so everything has failed and recovery is unlikely

54
Q

what are some diagnostic studies for shock ?

note
just know some are more specific because of the type of shock

A

blood studies
12-lead
chest x-ray
continues pulse ox
hemodynamic monitoring

55
Q

notes
successful management
- identification of patients at risk for developing shock
- interventions to control or eliminate cause of decreased perfusion
- protection of target and distal organs from dysfunction
- provision of multi system supportive care

general management
- ensure patent is response
- ensure a patent airway
- maximize oxygen delivery

A
56
Q

why are we going to be giving patients who go into shock oxygen and ventilation ?

A

optimize cardiac output
transporting fluid

57
Q

patients who are experiencing, septic, hypovolemia and anaphylactic shock are going to need what ?

A

volume expansion

58
Q

how are we going to help with volume expansion ?
(3)

A

1-2 large bore iv

isotonic crystalloids ( normal saline, lactated ringers )

Rbcs for those who lost volume due to bleeding ( blood transfusions )

59
Q

how do you know if your patient is responding to fluid resusitation?
dont over think it

A

better vital signs
3 sec capillary refill
improvement in mental staus
pink and warm skin

60
Q

what are the 2 major complications of large volumes of fluid that patients may experience when receiving fluid resusitation?

A

hypotermia
coagulopathy

61
Q

why do patients end up getting hypothermia when receiving large amounts of fluids ?

and how can we fix this ?

A

because the blood inside you is like at 98F but the fluid you’re gonna get is like 75F room temp, so its a huge difference in temp and thats why patients get cold

we can fix this by warming up the fluids prior to giving them

62
Q

why do patients end up getting coagulopathy after receiving a lot of fluids with blood transfusions?

how do we fix this ?

A

they dont have clotting factors because the fluid doesn’t help with clotting

so we need to monitor their clotting factors, so then they are at risk for DIC

63
Q

what Is the first line of treatment of shock ?

A

fluid resuscitation
1 or 2 bags of fluids

64
Q

what is the next step if fluid resusisctation doesn’t work ?

A

vasopressors
- increase blood pressure to help keep the fluid where it alongs and hopes to circulate the fluid better

65
Q

what are some examples of vasopressors we may give to our patients ?

A

norepinephrine, dopamine, phenyelphrine

66
Q

we place a patient on a vasopressor as a 2nd form of treatment in case the fluid resuscitation doesn’t work.

however we may need to add vasodilator therapy to patients which shock for what reason ?

A

because vasopressor is working its hardest to try to maintain the blood pressure up however, the heart is also having to work very very hard to push that blood around,

so we put them on a vasodilator in hopes for the heart not to work too hard while being on a vasopressor

67
Q

when, how, why do we start feeding patients with shock ?

A

within the firs 24 hours
with slow enteral feedings
in hopes to prevent gi bleeding,uclers, and keep their calories up

68
Q

interprofessional care are the following flashcards

A
69
Q

what is the overall goal for cardiogenic shock ?

A

restore blood flow to myocardium by restoring balance between oxygen supply and demand

restore cardiac function

70
Q

what are the definitive measure we are going to need to do for patients who are in cardiogenic shock ? (3)

A

angioplasty with stenting
emergency revasculzaization
valve replacement

71
Q

cardiogenic shock interprofressional care involves what types of drug therapy ?

A

beta blockers reduce hr
vasodilators - hypotensive
diuretics - remove fluids
nitrates to help dilate

72
Q

we may need to give patients who are in cardiogenic shock what type of circulatory assiated devices?

A

intraaortic balloon pump
( helps you push blood )
ventricular assist device
( works everything for you pretty much )

73
Q

lastly if the drug therapy, the circulatory assisted device dont help patients with cardiogenic shock. what is the last resort?

A

heart transplant

74
Q

what is the main goal or focus of hypovolemic shock?

A

cousins on stopping loss of fluid and restoring the circulating volume

75
Q

fluid resuscitation is calculated using what to help hypovolemic shock?

A

3:1 rule
( 3ml of isotonic crystalloid for every 1 mL of estimated blood loss )

76
Q

what is the best way to figure out how much fluid or blood a patient has lost?

A

weigh the pads of fluids or blood and follow the 3:1 rule after that

77
Q

what are the interprofessional care for septic shock ? (5)

A

fluid replacement
vasopressors
- if that doesn’t help keep the blood pressure up we then go to corticosteroids
antibiotics
keep glucose level less than 180

78
Q

if a patient in on a vasopressor for their septic shock, and it is not helping keeping their blood pressure up, what else would we add to help this patient?

A

corticosteroids

79
Q

when a patient is septic, we understand their is an infection causing this, however before we give an antibiotics, what must we get first?

A

blood culture

80
Q

why do we get a blood culture first?

A

to help figure out what type of bacteria it is and properly kill it

and plus we want to avoid creating antibiotics resistance for this bacterias

81
Q

so when we start the antibiotic therapy within the first hour for patients with septic shock, what medication type do we give first, then what do we give after the blood culture comes back?

A

broad spectrum antibiotics
then go to a
narrow spectrum antibiotics

82
Q

what is the interprofressional care for neurogenic shock ?

A

remember fluid is not the problem, its the massive vasodilator because of the SNS because of the spinal cord injury

so we must really need to take care of their spine and keep it stable

83
Q

while keeping the spine stable, we must treat their massive hypotension and bradycardia for neurogenic patients, with what 2 medications ?

A

vasopressors
atropine ( increases heart rate )

84
Q

while we can give neurogenic shock patients fluids, remember it isn’t the biggest issue here, they are hypotensive but not because the loss of fluid but due to the spinal cord injury causing dilation

so what do we need to watch out if we do give them fluid and why?

A

hypothermia because they can not control their body temp due to the spinal cord injury

85
Q

what is the interprofessional care for anaphylactic shock?
(3)

A

epinephrine - allergy reaction
diphenhydramine ( benedrayl ) - blocking histamines
h2 ( histamine 2) blockers - famotadine

86
Q

why are we giving diphenhydramine ( bendrayl ) and h2 blockers to patients who are in anaphylactic shock ?

A

because both these medications are helping get rid of all the histamines being activated in the body

87
Q

common sense things for anaphylactic shock, we need to monitor breathing, keep a patent airway, using fluids and cortisociteroids if hypotension is still happening, just overall what is the big picture of anaphylactic shock?

A

allergic reaction, so monitor for airway closing up and giving proper medications to prevent it from happening

remember silent chest is worse than hearing wheezing

88
Q

primary strategy is early recognition and treatment to relieve obstruction for obstructive shock, what might we give a patient to help with this ?

A

mechanical decompression
thrombolytic therapy
radiation
decompresive laparotomy
