Q

What is the body’s response to hypovolemic shock?

A

Compensated shock->baroreceptor mediated vasoconstriction
-increased Epi, vasopressin, angiotensin
results in:
-tachycardia
-tachypnea
-NARROWED PULSE PRESSURE (under 15-20 is very concerning
-slightly lowered urine output

Q

compensated hemorrhagic shock:
how much blood loss
what happens to BP?

A

0-20% blood loss

BP is maintained via ↑ vascular tone & ↑blood flow to vital organs

↑ contractility maintains SV +slight↑ in HR maintains near normal CO

vasoconstriction maintains near normal BP

21
Q

5 compensations in non-progressive (compensated) shock

A
  1. baroreceptor reflexes
  2. renin release
  3. ADH release
  4. Epi & Norepi Release
  5. Compensatory Mechanisms effective
22
Q

In hypovolemic shock, the body will make whatever adjustments it can to maintain ______________.

Who wins? who loses?

A

Adequate Cardiac Output
more important organs remain normal, less critical organs are stressed by ischemia

WINNERS: brain, heart, kidneys, liver
LOSERS: skin, GI tract, skeletal muscle

23
Q

Progressive (un-compensated) shock

A
  • intravascular volume deficient exceeds heart capacity to maintain CO->INADEQUATE PRELOAD->HR ↑
  • sympathetic & neurohormonal response no longer able to maintain enough vasoconstriction to maintain systemic perfusion pressure (P=CO*PVR)
  • ACIDOSIS, CHANGE IN MENTAL STATUS, POOR URINE OUTPUT EVIDENT
24
Q

What is evident in progressive (Un-compensated) shock (3)

A

acidosis
change in mental status
poor urine output

25
Q

problem with cuff pressures in obesity

A

cuff pressures may falsely over-estimate pressure, difficulty with palpable pulses, difficult airway

26
Q

Relative Hypovolemic Shock (3)

A
  • Tension Pneumothorax
  • Spinal Shock
  • Early Septic Shock
27
Q

Cardiogenic shock: simple def

A

pump failure possibly due to CAD, myocardial loss or arrhythmia

28
Q

progression of Cardiogenic shock

A

acute hypotension->low CO->
inadequate LV outflow-> poor end organ perfusion!

oliguria
31
Q

Tx of cardiogenic shock

A 
tx underlying cause
inotropes &/or vasopressors
fluids if appropriate
intraaortic balloon counterpulsation
revascularize if acute MI:
-fibrinolyrics  (tPA, streptokinase)
-angioplasty
-CABG
32
Q

Septic shock: definition/description

A

exaggerated endogenous inflammatory response to invasive infection leading to:
-circulatory collapse
-multiple organ failure
-death
mortality over 35% (sepsis w/hypotension)

33
Q

Cardiac output in fluid resuscitated septic shock is

A

increased

initially they are hypovolemic, but once you put fluid in them, they are in a high output state

34
Q

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) definition

A

response to a variety of severe clinical insults, manifested by 2 OR MORE of the following:

  1. temp>38*C or90bpm
  2. RR>20 or PaCO212,000/mm3, 10% immature (band) forms “left shift”
35
Q

Infection Definition

A

inflammatory response to microorganisms or invasion of normally sterile tissues

36
Q

Sepsis definition

A

systemic response to infection-i.e. confirmed or suspected infection PLUS > or = 2 SIRS criteria

37
Q

Severe Sepsis Def

A

-sepsis a/w organ dysfxn, hypoperfusion or hypotension

hypoperfusion abnormalities may include but are not limited to: lactic acidosis, oliguria, acute alteration in mental status

38
Q

Septic Shock: ACCP/SCCM def

A

sepsis-induced hypotension DESPITE ADEQUATE FLUID RESUSCITATION along w/ perfusion abn (incl. lactic acidosis, oliguria, or acute alteration of mental status)

patients receiving inotropic or vasopressor agents may not be hypotensive at the time perfusion abnormalities are measured

39
Q

G+ vs. G- sepsis presentation

A

G+ may have less hypotension than with G- sepsis

40
Q

What is ARDS

A

adult respiratory distress syndrome
-inflammatory response where you get leaky capillaries in lungs, lungs become stiff (can occur in sepsis/septic shock, blood transfusion), hard to ventilate, very poor oxygenization

41
Q

MSOF- multisystem organ failure

A

Hepatic: transaminitis,↑bilirubin
Renal: ATN, uremia, oliguria progressing to anuria
Pulmonary: ARDS, infections
Cardiac: myocardial depression, arrhythmias
Neuro: altered mental status, confusion, delirium, coma
Others: immune, hematopoietic, coagulation

42
Q

Warm (hyperdynamic) shock clinical manifestation

A

hypotensive, tachycardia, tachypnea

  • BOUNDING PULSE
  • WARM, WELL PERFUSED EXTREMITIES
  • SKIN FLUSHED, MOIST
43
Q

Cold (hypodynamic) shock

A

hypotensive, tachycardia, tachypnea

  • NARROW, THREADY PULSE
  • COLD, POORLY PERFUSED EXTREMITIES
  • SKIN PALE, DRY
44
Q

Septic Shock hemodynamics

A

CVP doesn’t accurately estimate ventricular filling in the critically ill

  • when PWP (pulmonary wedge pressure) is appropriately elevated to 12-15 mmHg w/fluid resuscitation, 90% of pts w/septic shock exhibit hyperdynamic circulatory state
  • hyperdynamic state persist to death
45
Q

hypodynamic septic shock=

A

inadequately fluid resuscitated septic shock (until PWP shows filling pressures btwn 12-15mm Hg)
[if you adequately resuscitate (6-8L saline), they have a better chance]

46
Q

A

↑ lactate, ↑ MVO3

  • micro-anatomic shunts (non-nutritive capillaries)
  • functional shunts (impaired micro-circulatory vasomotor contro)
