22
Q

Treatment of cardiogenic shock with low BP

A

Dobutamine (initial 0.5-1 mcg/kg/min with maintainamce of 2-20 mcg/kg/min) or milrinone with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation

23
Q

Treatment of cardiogenic shock with normal or high BP

A

IV nitroglycerin or nitroprusside with IV loop diuretic (furesomide)

24
Q

Treatment of cardiogenic shock with AF

A

Esmolol or cardioversion

25
Q

Treatment of cardiogenic shock with post MI

A

Antiplatelets, norepinephrine or dopamine if hypotensive (dobutamine or milrinone for those with vasoconstriction and not as severe hypotension)

26
Q

Norepinephrine

A

Vasopressor with some inotropic properties

27
Q

Dopamine

A

Alpha agonist with some inotropic effects but increases PCWP

28
Q

Dobutamine

A

Inotropic agents that also produce vasodilation

29
Q

When do you not use dobutamine?

A

Post MI with vasodilation rather than vasoconstriction

30
Q

Electrical alterans

A

Pericardial tamponade

Heart is swinging back and forth in bag of fluid

31
Q

Beck’s triad for cardiac tamponade

A

Distended neck veins
Distant heart sounds
Distressed BP (Hypotension)

32
Q

Presentation of cardiac tamponade

A

A 46 y/o female with lung cancer presents with dyspnea and cough. Heart sounds are distant and lungs are clear. Neck veins are distended (heart can’t pump blood out). BP is 60/40.

33
Q

TEE shows an echo free space anterior and posterior to the left ventricular wall. This represents which type of shock?

A

Obstructive

Fluid around the heart

34
Q

A 25 y/o HIV patient presents with cough, fever of 39C and heart rate of 98 beat/min. Respiratory rate is 26 breaths/min with WBC of 9,000 cells/mm3 with 15% bands. Glucose is 145 mg/dL. This patient most likely has:

A

SIRS

Fever, increase HR, increase RR, increase WBC with bandemia
Elevated glucose

35
Q

What is SIRS?

A

Dysregulated inflammation related to autoimmune disorders, pancreatitis, vasculitis, VTE, burns, surgery, etc.

**bacterial infection (but can be any insult to the body)

Can progress to sepsis and shock

36
Q

Acid base imbalance with SIRS?

A

Respiratory alkalosis

Increase in RR, decrease in CO2

37
Q

Labs used for SIRS, sepsis, or distributive shock

A
CMP
ABGs
Type and crossmatch
Coagulation parameters
Lactate
Blood cultures
38
Q

Positive culture means diagnosis of:

A

Sepsis

39
Q

PAMPs

A

Activate Pattern Recognition Receptors -> release cytokines and chemokines ->SIRS/Sepsis

40
Q

DAMPs

A

Made by host, act like PAMPs

41
Q

Sepsis/SIRS = Infection + ?

A

TPR changes –T > 38.3C or < 36C; HR > 90 bpm; RR > 20bpm

47
Q

Patient is considered to have developed septic shock when unable to maintain a mean arterial pressure > 60 mmHg after:

A

Fluid resuscitation

48
Q

Distributive shock, including septic shock, anaphylaxis, or adrenal insufficiency is characterized by:

A

SVR < 800 dynes.s/cm-5

49
Q

CVOS and shock

A

Redistribution of oxygen delivery or inability of tissues to extract O2 can actually lead to a high central oxygen saturation of greater than 70%, with increased serum lactate

Later CVOS may drop and require fluid, RBCs, and vasopressors to maintain it above 70%

50
Q

9 immediate steps for sepsis treatment

A
Serum lactate
Two sets of blood cultures
Two 18 gauge lines
Start antibiotics
Give 2 liters NS
CBC and BMP
O2 sat > 90%
Start norepinephrine if shock is present.
Transfer for lactate > 4 mmol/L, Systolic BP < 90 mm Hg, or MAP < 60 after 2 liters of NS
51
Q

Early therapy with septic shock

Maintain CVP at 8-12 with fluids
Maintain MAP at >65 mmHg and CI at 2-4 L/min2 with vasopressors
Maintain CVOS with PRBC and ionotropic therapy
Reduce lactate

52
Q

A

NE - most shock
Epi - anaphylactic
